This was my mother’s favorite song. When she passed at age 39, my father played it constantly. Still makes me think of her. On the 26th it will be 50 yrs since she passed. Thank you for this reaction.
I never thought of it as she took her own life. I took it that she was crying in the middle of the day after learning of her sickness that she eventually died from. You had an interesting take I'm going to think about.
That was my idea too at first, till I thought some more about the breadcrumbs of crying. She might have also been sick and just hidden it from him thats another possibility. Either way its really well written and allows for conversation which is what i enjoy a lot about these type of songs. True art.
No way she killed herself.. never even considered it. The tree was a tree.. the sad movie was a sad movie.. silly to think it meant sonething else. I have often cried when watching a movie. it doesn't mean I'm depressed. She just died.. and he misses her.
Yes, a main reason for NOT taking one's life is the words... that the "Angels came." That generally does not denote self inflicted.... Just too many illnesses that could have caused the angels to come. At least not to those of us back-in-the-day would angels denote what is generally sin to self inflict.
@@davidw7 You are right about that. I was a preacher's son who grew up in the church in Alabama in the 60s and most people thought suicide would keep you out of heaven. Now many more people would consider the underlying mental illness a mitigating factor during judgment.
That could definitely be it. My brain might make it darker where it doesnt need to be. Its a sad ending, but its part of life. A reminder to cherish the moments we have with our loved ones.
I remember when this song came out and even though I was only in high school I loved. Now I'm 71 and my wife of 40+ years has dementia and the song hits that much harder.
I was a kid when this came out. From a family with 11 kids. We had an extra living room at one end of the house. I walked into that room one night; no lights were on, and this song was playing on our record player. My brother Charlie was lyng on the couch in there listening. When he was 19 he died, mountain climbing in the Grand Tetons. The two things go together. Sensitive Honey, sensitive Charlie, both gone too soon.
Bobby Goldsboro was a pop & country singer-songwriter from the 60's-70's. "Honey" was his biggest hit but he had a lot of great songs including "See The Funny Little Clown", "Summer (The First Time)", "It's Too Late", "Little Things", "Too Many People", "With Pen In Hand", "Hello Summertime", "Watching Scotty Grow" etc. Some of his songs were performed by other artists such as Brenda Lee, Dolly Parton, John Denver.
@@SaeedReacts.yes! “Seasons in the Sun” is tremendous with a great, timeless, emotional message! Also, “Cat’s in the Cradle” by Harry Chapin and “Remember When” by Alan Jackson. Magnificent music!
I am what you would think is old, 70. But age is mostly a number if you choose it. I am so delighted to see beautiful younger people are bothering to look back. Music from the 1950’s to about 1990 are just The Best! And remember to know this I had to look back as well. Don’t limit yourself by type either. Good music is colorless as mists also are. Listen and decide! Thanks for making my day. A fellow music lover!
I’m 69, and this is a wonderful comment! I agree 100%! And yes, age is really just a number. Aging may be inevitable. But “oldness” and “youthfulness” are attitudes - mindsets some choose to accept or choose to ignore. I choose to ignore oldness and accept the youthful. Sounds as if you do as well! 👍😊🎉
I can't listen to or look at Bobby Goldsboro without thinking about my daddy. Bobby and Elvis were his favorites. He sang Honey and Watching Scotty Grow with his band, and he sounded a lot like Bobby. I'm crying right now cause I might be 58 but I still miss my daddy. Thanks man for playing Bobby, you're becoming one of my favorite reactors real quick. ❤
Music and memories are really interwoven with eachother. Missing a loved one, no matter how much time has passed, is a testament to the special bond you shared. I hope you can find some comfort in your memories and the love you had for your father. Thanks so much for watching and sharing that ❤️
@@SaeedReacts. Yes they are, and it's doubly so when your family is musical. It's been 12 years since he went Home, but I hear certain songs and I still cry. Daddy's girl forever here. I hope you still have your mama and daddy, dear. Cherish them, you never know how long you have.
I have cried to this song for so many years! I would skip down my childhood stairs and stop because this was playing on the radio, just stop and listen.
I don't remember if this was the track or not, but, back in the day, they pressed 45 rpm records into the back of cereal boxes so you could cut them out and play them on your record player. I know Bobby was one of the artists they did that for.
@SaeedReacts. I remember that, I got my cut out record from honeycomb cereal box! But don't remember the song on the cut out! Peace from Northern Michigan.
That was from my teenage years! Talk about a blast from the past! He said the Angels came and took her, that doesn't sound like suicide to me. In fact, that never crossed my mind. I just assumed she got ill and died! Describes me and my late husband to a T except that I planted the tree and he laughed at me telling me I'd never live long enough to see it fruit. That was at least 15 years ago and it has a trunk that 's about 12 inches and it was a twig when I planted. I'm sad he never got to see it get so big!
It could definitely be from illness. My dark writer brain saw the breadcrumbs of catching her crying and went straight to that. Also because of own experiences with this subject. Thanks for sharing that. Sorry to hear he never got to see it grow to what it is now. 🫂
I was about 17 when this song first came out. I played it again and again on a 45 RPM record. It causes such nostalgia now when I hear it. It brings back a special time that I'll live through again only in my memories.
I've always loved Honey which I'd say was Bobby Goldsboro's greatest hit. It was so successful on its first release that it became the top selling single worldwide in 1968. I'd say that was quite an achievement.
Yes, I always thought she took her own life while he was at work, I am forever hopeful though that I was wrong and that it was an illness that they didn't know about! She could have been crying from actual pain instead of depression pain! Once again I loved your heartfelt reaction!
when i was five years old Bobby had his own music show on tv. i knew exactly what day and time it was on and every week i would be sitting cross-legged on the floor right in front of our black and white tv and everyone knew they better not get between me and my Bobby Goldsboro.
This is definitely a very heartfelt song. Even if you haven't had that kind of loss. It certainly brought a few tears to my eyes. I'm sorry to hear about the loss you have experienced. You are a sensitive soul. I love that about you!
Singer Songwriter Bobby Russell said that Honey was about the tree in his front yard that went from a twig to a huge tree not about losing his wife or lover.
Loved your reaction. You always look for the deeper meaning in the lyrics. So many people just gloss over them. I loved this song since it first came out--- I always seem to gravitate toward the emotional ones. I never thought of it as a song about suicide, just about loss to an undescribed illness. Suicide wasn't talked about back when this came out like it is today with all the emphasis on mental health that is in the news. Like many songs, however, it can mean different things to different people. Gail L.
I seem to gravitate towards these type of songs as well. To me there were hints of depression, but it could also be that she found out about a terminal illness. Like you said its open to interpretation and thats great writing. Thanks for watching and sharing your thoughts.
Bobby had his own TV show for a while back in the day (lets you know how old I am)! When I was a kid, we never missed it, my Mom was in love with him. You'll enjoy his other songs too.
I haven’t heard this beautiful song in a long time, but could still recall every word of the lyrics from playing it so much in my younger days! It still brought tears to my eyes! Thanks for a wonderful reaction! Any Goldsboro song you choose to react to will NOT disappoint!
Time travelling I think this was one of the first singles I bought in the summer around me being 14. Memories indeed. Love that you like the travel. CCR waw another group. That was special. Totally different. ❤C
The saddest and most beautiful song ever written. Others include "The Carnival is Over" by the Seekers. "My Boy" by Richard Harris (or Elvis), "I can't Make You Love Me" (Bonnie Raitt) "Yesterday When I Was Young" (Roy Clark) "What Now My Love" (Elvis) "Don't Cry, Daddy" (Elvis) "You Gave Me a Mountain" (Elvis) "Separate Ways" (Elvis) "Long, Long Time" (Linda Ronstadt) "Patches" (Clarence Carter) "It's Over" (Roy Orbison) "Crying" (Roy Orbison) "The Last Time I Saw Her Face" by Gordon LIghtfoot (or Glen Campbell).
I recognized the name Bobby Goldsboro and had to check this out..this isn't the song I remember but I still enjoyed listening to it..the song of his I was thinking of is titled Summer (First Time), it really is a beautiful song
I saw this pop on my feed and clicked on it immediately. I love this song. So sad. I loved your explanation about a dynamic. I had a good friend that we would be snarky and sarcastic with each other. Someone asked if we were mad at each other, and we laughed. It was just the way we were when we were together. Neither of us was upset or angry. Our dynamic.
IMVHO, when he came home in the middle of the day and caught her crying, she had gotten a bad (fatal) diagnosis. That's why she was crying. I don't and never did think she took her own life.
Thanks so much. Consuming stories all my life has probably something to do with that. 😅 Sometimes i get it wrong, but thats bound to happen. I just love diving into these great stories.
This was one of my favorite songs back in the late 60's. I was only around 4-5 years old and had just gotten a puppy. I obviously didn't understand. Although it it is a sadly beautiful song.
I got a hint of "Jim Reeves". It reminds me so of my twin sister ; so to me a sad song; but memories will always make me smile or laugh out loud( the legacy if laughter) you know Saeed. Sometimes I wonder if our "trees" are anchored firm enough. TX Saeed. Greetings from South Africa
Its a very sad song that automatically makes us think about the ones we lost. But as you said we can find solace or comfort in our shared memories. Thanks so much for watching and sharing your thoughts. Greetings from Belgium.
Some guy with an internet connection and a camera brought it back 😅. Beautifully written song. Definitely food for thought. Thanks for watching, my friend.
Oh, god, I hated this song back then, but I was about 20 yrs old, so this kind of emotional, pull-your-heart-strings, country song was just not what I wanted to hear. At the time, I was all into 60s-70s folk-rock, R&B, Motown, Psychedelic Rock, etc. Anything that sounded even remotely 'Country' was never on my play list. You know how young people can be at that age. LOL! It's much more tolerable to me now. People did love it, though, it played non-stop on the radio--if I remember right, it hit #1 on the charts. Goldsboro does have a beautiful voice!
Hi, Saeed😊 it seems I keep getting you emotional with these song choices. I really don't mean to make you sad. These are songs I grew up with, and they all spoke to me ...some right away, and some that took on more meaning as I grew older, so I just wanted to give you an understanding of how it was back then in the 60's and 70's, and share that era with you. This one, to me came out and depicted life that wasn't as complicated as it is today. Pictuing a small cottage, her flower bed that she took pride in. The love they shared. And maybe, she didn't tell him of her diagnosis because she didn't want to hurt him. Ah, the love they shared, and how he missed her, and anyone that would listen, he would say " see the tree how big it has grown" and then keeping her memory alive by sharing their love story. I also love your take, Saeed. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and for your humble reaction. ❤😊
Amazing song. Definitely hits hard, but i love exploring this side of being human as well. Definitely my mind went to a darker place than it maybe needed to be. Thanks so much for this request and sharing your interpretation. I think its spot on. ❤️
You should do a reaction to Gary Allen THE BEST I Ever Had. It's about his wife who committed suicide. I saw him preform the song live and you could tell he was getting very emotional while he sang the song.
I always thought that when he said kinda dumb and kinda smart I n my humble opinion, I think he was talking about how she could be really smart but a bit to trusting
@@SaeedReacts. I think when he caught her crying in the middle of the day, she had received the bad news of some condition. As often happens, someone will pass when the one they love most is not there. Maybe he had run to the store.
This was my mother’s favorite song. When she passed at age 39, my father played it constantly. Still makes me think of her. On the 26th it will be 50 yrs since she passed. Thank you for this reaction.
Sorry to hear she passed away so young. Almost the same age my wife and i are now. Couldnt imagine losing her.
Much love ❤️❤️❤️
One of the saddest and most beautiful songs of all time.

That could definitely be it. My brain might make it darker where it doesnt need to be.
Its a sad ending, but its part of life. A reminder to cherish the moments we have with our loved ones.
Absolutely, that's what the song is saying. What exactly happened the song doesn't say.
You are right! Thank you
I remember when this song came out and even though I was only in high school I loved. Now I'm 71 and my wife of 40+ years has dementia and the song hits that much harder.
I can only imagine that this song hits different as we age.
Sorry to hear about your wife. Sending you both lots of love and strength ❤️
One of my favorite songs as a young boy. Taught me tenderness and perspective.
Yes, very true!

Thanks for sharing some info and recommendations. Some interesting titles that catch my eye 😃
@@SaeedReacts.every one of the titles this person listed are “must listen” songs of exquisite beauty!
"Broomstick Cowboy"
I cry all the time. Thankyou, Bobby.😢
Try Terry Jacks "Seasons in the Sun".😌
Will add that one to my list. Thanks!

This was my dad's favorite song when I was young. He cried every time he played it on the jukebox when we would go out to eat. ❤😢
I have cried to this song for so many years! I would skip down my childhood stairs and stop because this was playing on the radio, just stop and listen.
This song Was A Huge Crossover Hit!!!
Did anyone watch Bobby Goldsboro variety show? I’m 62 and vaguely remember it.
I don't remember if this was the track or not, but, back in the day, they pressed 45 rpm records into the back of cereal boxes so you could cut them out and play them on your record player. I know Bobby was one of the artists they did that for.

@garyzink1927 I googled "45s on cereal boxes" and there was pictures of some of them from the Monkees to The Jackson 5. Brought back memories.

Such a sweet and sad song. His voice was so beautiful.
Bobby Goldsboro hails from Marianna, Florida and now he and his wife make their home in the Ocala National Forest in Ocala, Florida
This is definitely a very heartfelt song. Even if you haven't had that kind of loss. It certainly brought a few tears to my eyes.
I'm sorry to hear about the loss you have experienced. You are a sensitive soul. I love that about you!
Very powerful and emotional song.
Thanks so much for watching and the kind words ❤️
Have a wonderful day.

Appointment TV. Crowded around it. Something that is dissapearing or maybe already is.
Thanks for sharing that.
Follow that one up with Watching Scottie Grow...Bobby Goldsboro is one of a kind with one of the most wonderful voices known to the music world!
Thanks for that recommendation!
I remember this so well as a kid. My mom loved the song. It made me cry. Great story telling but sad. Will always be a favorite of mine

Great song, although sad. Definitely want to check out more of his music. Thank you for watching.

Wow! Thats amazing. Thanks for sharing that.
And all these years later you are now watching me listen to it for the first time. What a journey 😄
This is such a beautifully sad song. Boboy Goldsboro was so good. This song always makes me cry. Love your reaction!
Its a heartwrenching song, but a really great one. Thanks so much for watching.
I have't heard this in ages... It always made me cry... .
🫂❤️
My mother absolutely loved this one. Thanks for the memories 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
Great taste in music!
He was so talented. Took his own life.
I did not know that. Heartbreaking
The saddest and most beautiful song ever written. Others include "The Carnival is Over" by the Seekers. "My Boy" by Richard Harris (or Elvis), "I can't Make You Love Me" (Bonnie Raitt) "Yesterday When I Was Young" (Roy Clark) "What Now My Love" (Elvis) "Don't Cry, Daddy" (Elvis) "You Gave Me a Mountain" (Elvis) "Separate Ways" (Elvis) "Long, Long Time" (Linda Ronstadt) "Patches" (Clarence Carter) "It's Over" (Roy Orbison) "Crying" (Roy Orbison) "The Last Time I Saw Her Face" by Gordon LIghtfoot (or Glen Campbell).
Yes! Please listen to "Yesterday When I Was Young" by Roy Clark and Linda Ronstadt's "Long, Long Time"
Pledge of Love and Pardon me Miss are favorites of mine as well as Honey
Will add those songs to my list. Thanks!

I will add your recommendation to my list. Thanks!
I saw this pop on my feed and clicked on it immediately. I love this song. So sad. I loved your explanation about a dynamic. I had a good friend that we would be snarky and sarcastic with each other. Someone asked if we were mad at each other, and we laughed. It was just the way we were when we were together. Neither of us was upset or angry. Our dynamic.
Its a great song, but it is really sad. Thanks so much for watching.
IMVHO, when he came home in the middle of the day and caught her crying, she had gotten a bad (fatal) diagnosis. That's why she was crying. I don't and never did think she took her own life.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts. Definitely a possibility. Maybe even more plausible than my thoughts 😃
I've always loved this song. Havent heard it in ages. Thanks for checking it out.
Great song. Thanks for watching.
If this song does not bring tears, check for a pulse..... quickly!
Very sad song.
Was not expecting it to go that way. Very sad, but great writing.
Saeed, you really amaze me that you pick up the meaning of the song so quickly
Thanks so much. Consuming stories all my life has probably something to do with that. 😅
Sometimes i get it wrong, but thats bound to happen. I just love diving into these great stories.
This made me remember another heart tugging song, "Daddy Don't You Walk So Fast" ...by Charlie Rich. Or Elvis Presley's "Don't Cry Daddy ".
Thanks for the recommendation!
Thanks for playing this. It took me back to my teenage when a boy friend told me he always thought of me when he heard this song.....sigh......
Music and memories seem to be interlocked and stay with us for a long time.
Thanks for sharing that.
Great reaction. I love the way you really hear every word. I think this is a song that many can relate to.
Its so well written and performed. Hits hard! Thanks for watching.
OH WOW! I had forgotten about this song. Thank you so much!
Great song. Thanks so much for watching.

I got a hint of "Jim Reeves".
It reminds me so of my twin sister ; so to me a sad song; but memories will always make me smile or laugh out loud( the legacy if laughter) you know Saeed.
Sometimes I wonder if our "trees" are anchored firm enough.

Anything from Harry Chapin's "Greatest stories ever told." you won't be disappointed`
Cradle in the Cats reaction is recorded and should be uploaded soon.
Patches by Clarence Carter my favorite song
I reacted to that one. Great song!
Wow! A real childhood memories song - I always liked it cuz it sounded beautiful but, as a youngster, I never analyzed the lyrics. Wow!!
Amazing what years of living will do to the meaning of a song. Great song. Thanks for watching
Great reaction
Thank you!
She had an illness, not mentally..Makes me cry every time..
I never ever thought she killed herself😮
Maybe my brain made it darker then it needed to be, but the trail of breadcrums is there.
I just saw you react to The night the lights went out on Georgia and this song was written by the same song writer Bobby Russell
Thanks for letting me know about that!
Yeah, well, I'm not crying, YOU'RE crying!

Oh, god, I hated this song back then, but I was about 20 yrs old, so this kind of emotional, pull-your-heart-strings, country song was just not what I wanted to hear.

You know how young people can be at that age. LOL! It's much more tolerable to me now. People did love it, though, it played non-stop on the radio--if I remember right, it hit #1 on the charts. Goldsboro does have a beautiful voice!
I definitely can relate to that. Songs that didnt really do it for me years ago now hit totally different.
Thanks Saeed, I like this song so much HONEY Saeed brings back so many memories, I'm shedding a few tears
Very emotional song. Thanks for watching 🫂❤️
Depression is a vicious circle.
It is. Tough to break it
Hi, Saeed😊 it seems I keep getting you emotional with these song choices. I really don't mean to make you sad. These are songs I grew up with, and they all spoke to me ...some right away, and some that took on more meaning as I grew older, so I just wanted to give you an understanding of how it was back then in the 60's and 70's, and share that era with you. This one, to me came out and depicted life that wasn't as complicated as it is today. Pictuing a small cottage, her flower bed that she took pride in. The love they shared. And maybe, she didn't tell him of her diagnosis because she didn't want to hurt him. Ah, the love they shared, and how he missed her, and anyone that would listen, he would say " see the tree how big it has grown" and then keeping her memory alive by sharing their love story. I also love your take, Saeed. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and for your humble reaction. ❤😊
Amazing song. Definitely hits hard, but i love exploring this side of being human as well.
Definitely my mind went to a darker place than it maybe needed to be.
Thanks so much for this request and sharing your interpretation. I think its spot on. ❤️
For a skillfully written song portraying the ins and outs of a long term marriage, check out "Darling Lorraine" by Paul Simon. Wonderful stuff!
Will add that one to my list. Thanks so much!

You should do a reaction to Gary Allen THE BEST I Ever Had. It's about his wife who committed suicide. I saw him preform the song live and you could tell he was getting very emotional while he sang the song.
The crowd had to finish part of the song when I saw him singing it live.
Will add it to my list, but definitely need to be in a good mindset for such a song.
Thanks for the recommendation!
ever heard john prine : lets talk dirty in hawaiian.
Noy yet, but some of his songs are on my to do list. Definitely want to explore some of it. Thanks for the recommendation.
I always thought that when he said kinda dumb and kinda smart I n my humble opinion, I think he was talking about how she could be really smart but a bit to trusting
Great interpretation!
I have this album and have listened numerous times, but I never had the thought you had today. Natural causes were always my thought.
It might have been natural causes. It definitely opens up conversation
@@SaeedReacts. I think when he caught her crying in the middle of the day, she had received the bad news of some condition. As often happens, someone will pass when the one they love most is not there. Maybe he had run to the store.
Ripe cheese, wtf
