My dad was dying of Cancer and talking in his sleep. I could tell he was dreaming a childhood memory. After he woke up, he smiled at me and said this “ they say when you die, your whole life passes before your eyes, and I believe that’s true”. That song got me good.
Damn, Country Music songwriters and Artists like Craig Morgan are the greatest story tellers.
On a side note. I was backstage at the Grand Ole Opry with Craig Morgan in July of 2016 and took pictures with him and was going to post them on social media the next day but that was the day his son died. For the record, Craig Morgan is a former US Army Ranger and recently reenlisted in the Army National Guard.
He is a world class human being with a heart of Gold.
That's so cool. I was at the Opry last year with my daughter for the first time (Her first time) and we went around all the places in Nashville that I went before she was born. All the places that inspired me to write the songs on my first album. What a thrill for her to see the places in person that were my inspiration. This is a great song!
theres one he wrote about his son that died called the father son and the holy ghost
60 years old and this song makes me cry everytime I hear it 😢
No shame, those tears are memories
Makes me cry every time. Crying isn't a sign of weakness it's a sign of being human and having a heart
72 year old man, and this song chokes me up
, I think about my childhood and and Mom and Dad , what a great life it was
I am glad you have fond memories. You will meet again.
Me too, 72 and thinking of my mom and growing up in happier times !
Two more Craig Morgan songs to use the entire box of tissues on are "This Aint Nothin'" and "The Father, My Son, and The Holy Ghost". This has always been my favorite by him. Good job.
Don't forget.... "That's what I love about Sunday" :)
The Grand Ole Opry: The Father, My Son and the Holy Ghost is particularly touching. It's the first time he performed the song live (Bring tissues. People will tell you the backstory afterwords, but yes the song is about his personal life).
Another classic is Love Remembers.
These songs are all great don’t get me wrong but “Tough” is a tear jerker
@@gk5891that one makes me cry like a damn baby every time. I couldn’t imagine the pain they feel every day but his voice in that live performance gives me a bit a glance. You can hear it
Ah man. You got me here. My father is 82 and fell a week ago and coded in the ER and they did CPR to bring him back. He has been hanging on in the hospital since and I have been too wrapped up in being there for him and my mom to really let the emotions hit. This song just made me break down at work. It is a good song.
My absolute favorite Craig Morgan song still to this day
Can't go wrong with country music that tells a story so well
The Father, My Son and The Holy Ghost is brutal to listen too.
As a father to a son who is in his early 20's, I have a hard time listening to this song. Just the thought of the possibility that I could have to face something like Craig had to endure is just, as you say, brutal.
@@gordonduke8812 I heard it when it first came out a couple years and the clips with Blake Shelton talking about calling Craig and telling him he needed to record it were going around. Of course I thought it was a great song and thought it would be an impossible thing to live through, but I couldn't really relate to that kind of pain.
Then I came across an acoustical version of it a few months ago ... and now I have a son that's gonna be 1 in June. Talk about not being prepared for that whole bag of emotions to smack me in the face, yeesh. I was not prepared.
It gets me every time.
“Since July of 55’ that’s as close as I’ve been” that line always gets me
I have someone very,very dear to me who is homeless. Many family members have tried to help him in many ways, but he prefers to go it alone, no matter what. Do sad. I picture him when he was a child and wonder what went wrong. It makes me look upon homeless people in a different way. Someday we will meet again in better circumstances. Much love.
My older brother… always the vagabond. He’s on a path I don’t understand but it seems to be the path he must travel.
I never interrupted it as he die but dreaming instead. Dreaming of hos childhood and he was walking home when she woke him up. Most of my best memories are from childhood
Almost home implies he was in his heaven
@@GPG3211he wasn't dying - just dreaming about simpler times. He did not die in the song.
Its easily interpreted both ways. I've always believed it to be a dream because of the second verse. Close enough to see his daddy and smell the cobbler. He just wanted the dream to continue so he could go inside his home and be with his parents again. Besides, you really can't wake someone from dying. But then again that could be heaven to him. Regardless, I still cry everytime because it is so reminiscent of my childhood.
@@TheSpud1129the writer has says it's about a man dying and going home, to heaven and his heaven is that time of his life when everything was perfect.
This song is my favorite, seeing as my Grandson disobeyed me and called an ambulance as I was awaiting leaving,. My family in the ER, and 4 days in ICU So glad they love this old man.
That old man's dreams were my childhood in the late 70's and early 80's, it really hit a chord with me when I first heard it!
Well, I’m late to this one, but I just wanted to add my two cents. The old man was not dying or freezing to death. He was in a better place when he was asleep. in his dream he was home again, or almost back to his childhood home but at that moment, when the young man who had good intentions, woke him up. he brought him back to this miserable world. What he is saying here in the song is that his fondest happiest memories are of his childhood. Those were the happiest years of his life.
No sir he wanted to go home to his family and if he had left him alone he would have been home.
he was freezing to death, he would've died and gone to heaven had the dude not woke him up
I live this song every time I sleep, my sons are little again and my wife hasn't cheated and broke my heart.
Then the nurse wakes me up and I am sadly back here.
If only I could sleep forever, I could hold her, watch the boys run barefoot on the lawn, and just dream on.
Sorry brother. She has to live with her choices. You live for those kids!
I've probably heard this song a hundred times, but this was the first time that I listened to it. Wow.
Must do Craig singing "The Father, my son and the Holy ghost" Live at the grand Ol Opry. Craig wrote the song for his son who had recently passed away in a boating accident. It was the first time he sang the song live and I believe his last
If you watch the duo with Jelly and Craig. I recommend the Grand Ole Opray - Live Version. This gives the background story of how this song brought them together to collaborate.
I cry the entire song every time I hear it. Brings back so many childhood memories. I miss those days with family members that have passed on.
This Ain't Nothing
The Father, The Son and The Holy Ghost
These are my request for you from Craig Morgan. You won't be disappointed.
Craig Morgan's song "Tough" breaks me down every time... if you have ever known/loved someone fighting or losing someone to Cancer....
Yeah got me too, what a masterclass Craig is, we need more Craig Morgan's
Love u two, the chemistry between u two is awesome .
Stay well and take care of each other

The song that makes me tear up every time is There goes my life by Kenny Chesney. Being a father of a daughter that is really close to me. I can't listen to that song without tears.
i appreciate playing the whole song then reacting. great video
I’m 30 years old. Been jamming this song since it came out. Never ever did I understand the full meaning of it. Kinda just always sang along, but damn this hits so much differently.
If you think that song is touching, Craig son died in a drowning accident and he wrote a song called my son, the father and the Holy Ghost and it’s incredible
I absolutely love this song! I remember years ago hearing this for the first time and crying my eyes out!
I sure hope that you played Craig singing "International Harvester" afterward to lighten the mood back up.
Craig Morgan has a lot of good songs like this. I just love him!
This has to be one of the best written and performed songs ever!! If this one doesn't hit you in the heart,, you must be dead inside,, great reaction!
I love your reaction to this. I cried too.
This song makes me cry every time. It reminds me of my dad (RIP) he was a gentle soul and also alcoholic. I used to try to wake him up all the time from him being passed out. He’d be passed out any and every where. Love you daddy ❤
I’m crying right along with you!!! 😢
One of my favorite all time songs ❤
1st time hearing this artist. Omg! I'm now listening to anything I can find of his. Such a beautiful voice. Thanks for featuring him on your channel
What a great sing along song OUTSTANDING / Just climbed out of a cotton wood tree
I’m not crying, you’re crying!
Such a great song by Craig. Love his music. Great song writer. The guys voice is so authentic and sincere. So many new singers try to sound that way but fall way short . Because they're NOT sincere. Yep , 63 years old here . Grew up in a small town in TN. So can relate to a lot of the lyrics. But the line about Momma sayin hurry up.....lost mom in 2008 so that one gets me .
I’m just turning 40 and this was my childhood it makes me tear up every time I hear it I sit and reminisce me and my brother riding bike to the lake going out to help bail hay mom cooking peach cobbler if this is a weird than I could tell so much more maybe I’m lucky maybe I’m anomaly
No matter our present day sometimes we all wish we could go back !
Songs like that are peak country music
This is real country music right here
Alway loved this song.
Second time I've heard this. Just learned what it was about. WOW 😮
FITS ME TO A T !!!
I'm not crying, you're crying! OMG........
Got me three - thank you guy;\'s for making me remember about life
Heard him sing & play on PBS one night - blew me away ! A Natural !! Just flat out can sing and write and play ..... with emotion that reaches past the ears and into the heart !!! Great voice. God bless, jj
When I saw Groundhog Day just the idea of that being the reality I bawled like a baby throughout the whole movie Both times
Not a country music fan, but I did like the sweet sentiments that the lyrics instill.
The climbing out of the cotton wood tree running from bees is the sting of the cold as his nerves are freezing. The breeze is the numb waves of sensation as you die from hypothermia. The walking down an old dirt road is the out of body feeling you get as you loose continuous. And the rest is the dream like separation from the physical world as you die.
His memory reminds me of my summers in a small Alabama town.
This girl has a good heart they don't make them like that anymore my Mom would call her a keeper ❤
Got me too.my first time hearing
Beautiful track, love it
A song about a near death experience. Very well written.
And, as others have said, I'm not a country music fan, but this song is very good! Good storytelling! And yes, sad.
I've loved this song from day one Craig can surely sing them,the one about his son makes me choke up every time I hear it.
I cry every time I hear it
Awesome reaction u guys !!!
This song recorded by Craig Morgan was playing on our local station at the same time the news broke about the space shuttle exploding over Texas. This song reminds so much of that tragedy. Craig Morgan spent a lot of years in the United States Army.
P. S. I shed a lot of tears over those lost in the space shuttle, as well as when an elderly man died one night in unusually cold night here in North Central Florida.
My buddy and I were fortunate enough to win a spot to sing one of our tunes at one of Craig's shows in New York ; and when I walked into the rest room , there was no one in there , then a guy pulled up on the side of me and I looked over and said , " How ya doin' "...???...and it was Craig and he said hey...LOL...It was great singing on his stage with his gear. Nice guy , too.
Let not talk about old age no matter how old you are this one gets you 👍
wow BROUGHT BACK Excellent Memories
Wow! What a song. Great choice Alexis. You got this rocker in tears💔🙏🏼
When you watch the version with Jelly Roll, watch the live version at the Grand Ol Opry
Thats what Real Country (is) sounds like everyone!!
Heard this when it came out and to this day it still gives me chills how he sings it with that sweet harmonics.
So glad you did this song. It is my favorite Craig Morgan song and there are a lot of them to choose from. I wish he got more air play and credit for his work. Good job!
How sweet Heaven will be!! I think his trip wqs interrupted too!
Got to see him live once and one of the best live singers I have ever heard. He stole the show from "the Band Perry" and Carrie Underwood.
And YES! Watch Ground Hog's Day!
I'm a huge Craig Morgan fan. From this song to his current music. Like a few has said already The Father, My Son and The Holy Ghost will get to you also. I lost my oldest brother and I recognized every bit of the pain he sings about in my parents. One of my favorites.
❤Craig Morgan..Soul soothing voice.
Got to see Craig in concert a year or two ago here in Woodstock, GA. at our local free amphitheater. The amount of people that showed was amazing and he gave a great concert. Of course he sang this song and so many people were in tears, including me.
Craig is awesome..love all his music
Excellent
The original with the video.. just hits home so hard... even more than this..
Sad, pretty song.
She likes them sad songs 😢 do hate me by blue October 💙
Yes, after seeing them in concert, which was spectacular by the way, I call them mental health rock because they sing about every emotion on the human emotional spectrum!
Please, Please, Please!!! Listen to Craig Morgan - The Father The Son and The Holy Ghost. Best of all its a true story and a pretty new tune.
My first time hearing this! Awesome.
The energy in this song is infectious; it's impossible not to get swept up in it. I now need to see you react on Nick Thurl's new song end up dead 😍
The girl has a tender heart:)❤
When you guys watch the collab of Jelly and Craig on this song, you need tonsee the time the performed it together at the Grand Ole Opry....itll give you the backstory as to why this song is particularly important
Man that sounds great…
Great react
O e of many songs I can relate to
Great song
The old traditional country from the 90's is so much better than anything they play today what they call country music today is not country music at all it's pop rock and rap
A song with a slightly similar story and extremely touching is MOMENTS by Emerson Drive. Definitely worth checking out.
Very nice guys 👍👍
Thanks!
This is what a great song does.
1000 acres in Chulota Florida. I say ‘every time’ I’ll cry but really it’s just when this song gets brought up, glad to hear yall enjoy this song, coming from Chulota, Florida. Pronounced chilli-ot-a. Great song yall
You really should react to "The Father, My Son and The Holy Ghost". His best in my opinion! Great reaction!
I think people in the comments just want to argue. It’s obviously a double entendre. It’s meant to be interpreted both ways.
Yup, I don't mind the discussions but I have had to delete more comments from this video than most because they get personal which we do not allow on the channel.
My Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost, I dare you.....chilling!
