This was my mum’s favorite song, she died 2 years later after it was released, I was 10 years old when she died and everytime I hear this I think of her
I was 20 when my mom passed from cancer in 1986. She loved John Denver and Barry Manilow. I still think of her when I hear their songs. Music does that.
My best wishes to all of you obviously you are stronger than me the pain is physical I wake up to it go to bed with it I am a lily of the field I am irrelevant and useless no one has ever been in love with me I need to make room for better people my time is up please God take me ! Merry. Christmas to you all
I played this song at my wife's funeral Feb 24th -20. We were married 45 years, She had me plant an Oak tree in our back yard on the ranch about two years after we were married. It would take three big men to hold hands to reach around the trunk of this tree. This song makes me mourn her and bring tears to my eyes
When my beloved wife died, my neighbors of our cul de sac, gave me a rose bush. They told me to plant it in front of the house so they could remember her as they walked by. The plant is doing well. I am so thankful to have such kind friends.
My eyes are leaking all down my face.. I DO know how it feels India, my best beloved husband passed away 2 and a half years ago, we were together for 36 years and married for nearly 34.. Songs like this make me weep and remember emotional things, or silly things we did together.. You never forget the person who died, the love is kept in a safe place, until we meet again.. Best wishes to you, from Wales UK
I'm so sorry for your loss. I lost my husband of 34 years a year ago, so I know how you feel. Stay strong, you will be with him again. Yes, tears were streaming down my face as I was remembering our life together.
@@katekrout179 thank you Kate, for your kind and thoughtful reply.. Grief can be a lonely road to travel can't it.. But with good friends and great family the journey is some days made a little easier.. Sending you best wishes, love & light, and lots of gentle hugs too, all the way from Wales UK
Thank you Sally, yes I have good and bad days, I'm sure you do too. I'm sending hugs love & light back to you. Take care of yourself, and remember the good times.
Knew Bobby, was born across the street from me. My mom taught him piano. Very nice family, yes the song was true, he was always kind and gentle, a very good human.
This was one of Bobby's biggest hits. Was such a great singer. Song still makes Me cry everytime. My husband has been gone now for almost 9 year's and my heart still hurts. We where together for 27 year's.
Hi India I just wanted to say I'm 60 you have to listen to the words of the whole song because it begins to tell you the whole story throughout the song and then you realize what the artist is saying to the listeners. Have a great listening experience its like no other - God Bless!!!!!
I love the soprano singers in this. They sound like angels. She told him that she was crying over a movie.... He found her crying needlessly...she knew she was dying. ...kept it from him. God, that tears me to pieces!
India, I was searching for this song by Bobby Goldsboro and came across your page. I watched you to see what your reaction would be today, over 50 years after it first hit the charts when I was a kid. It was like watching my daughter. You are a precious young lady. I pray that you find such love as I have.
This is a true story about his wife. Always loved this song. I lost my wife. I now know exactly how he feels. Thank you for reacting to this. 1st person I've saw react to this
Don't know where you hear that, but "Honey" wasn't even written by Bobby Goldsboro. It was written by songwriter Bobby Russell, who as far as I can tell, did NOT write the song based on any personal experience.
It does my heart good brings joy to my heart that in this time era a lifetime away from the past that some people of this generation will appreciate the music from so long ago in another lifetime and like it
Back in those days, there was not such casual sex. People committed to each other and most people stayed married. Today, there doesn't seem to be as much deep love, HONOR and commitment to each other. Our young people need to return to purity and saving themselves for someone who will honor and appreciate and return it to you.
India you're just experiencing what a bunch of great music we had back in the 60s. I graduated high school in 1965 and boy did we have a bunch of good rock and roll back in them days, I'm glad you younger people are finally beginning to truly enjoy it.
Florida Hiker, in the early to mid 60's I had a great uncle that had a restaurant/bar in Gray Louisiana. There was a big wooden dance floor and a jukebox with a lot of Johnny Rivers on it. My sister, my uncles granddaughter and I would play him on the jukebox and dance in our socks all over the dance floor. This was during the day when they weren't open so we thought we were big stuff dancing around in there when they were closed.
@@carollandrum9223 . My Dad had a friend in Wisconsin who had a bar with a jukebox I thought I was cool to play Indian Lake by the Cowsills. I still secretly love that song.
YOUNG Lady i do not know what it is about your reactions i just love them you are real sweet you will make some man a good partner good channel i will B thanks Canada Man
My late dad used to whistle and sing this song to the point of it being nauseating. Now whenever I hear this I can't get through it without tearing up.. I miss you dad.
I had the honor of meeting him and spending a full day with him. It was at a record show in Birmingham Alabama where we inducted him into the Alabama Music Hall of Fame in Tuscumbia Alabama. Super super nice and down to earth guy!!
I was 8 years old when I first heard this on the porch of a neighbor.. A man across the street lost his wife a week prior, and all I can think of was my neighbor.. Song just brings tears to my eyes.. I can't listen to it that often for that reason.. Brings back the sad 8 year old in me hearing it back then when a neighbor across the street lost his wife that same week..
This was played at my great Aunts funeral. All the times I’ve heard it, I just realized she knew she was sick and that’s why she was crying. It wasn’t because of a show.
I want to share a story. My grandparents got married after 6 weeks. This was the first record my grandmother ever bought my grandfather. She passed in 2016. and that was the first time I heard this song. He specifically asked for this song to be played at her life celebration ceremony, so from then on, I can't listen to it. Unfortunately, we lost him in 2018, so the song is even more special to us now.
This was my nana's favourite song and it made me cry but it was worth it remembering her. I wish I'd been a better granddaughter to her and I miss her everyday. Thank you for choosing this lovely song.
My neighbour's wife died today, they had been married 53 years, I have always liked this song, and right now, the emotional kick is so relevant, it must have been for so many people in the last 50 years.
So many years have passed since I first heard this song, I still feel a quick pain in my heart thinking of friends and relatives I've lost, and listening to this song still makes the words resonate in my heard... Bobby Goldsboro OWNS this song, no one can ever duplicate the emotions he brings out from strangers listening to this song, a testament of real love and devotion. Losing a loved one... is indeed a painful experience but reminds us to love those dear to us; they may not be around much longer. INDIA, thank you!
I started dating my wife in 19 78 we got married in 1982. In 2010 she died from multiple cancer. This is such a tearjerker but I'm willing to go through so much pain in my heart because I miss her so much. And yes I cried when I watch this song when you reacted to it.
I've actually heard there was a theory that the hammer line "the angels came" could mean "the Angels came," meaning Honey ran off with the Hell's Angels. I say the theory means someone had an overactive imagination.
I can identify. I lost my young wife to cancer. I grieved for years, then someone like her came into my life. Life was golden again. I lost her on an LA freeway. I don't want to play anymore.
Oh in 68 I was 6 and I remember this song playing on my moms car radio, I always thought it was such a sad but sweet song. My mom also had the album and I still have it...♡
I used to sing this song to my kids when they were young and they would cry, but still wanted me to sing it to them. Brings back memories. Great song and nobody sang it better than Bobby.
This song was huge in 1968 . It reached #1 not only in the US but in Canada ,Ireland ,Australia ,New Zealand and later #2 in the UK. To this day I can't listen to it in it's entirety without crying . I think it's the sad female vocal sounds that accompany the recorded version 😭
This is one of my favorites and just one of many I replay often when I want to hear it. I still use the same RCA headphones that were my dad's and listen to my LP's and 45's to escape the world as I did back than. I also listen to cassettes as well. It's great to go back in time in the present. These songs and others withstand TIME because they're that GOOD.👍⏳
Honey I miss you And I'm being good And I'd love to be with you If only I could... He's being good in heart and deed because he wants to make it to heaven. Honey got there without trying.
When I was 13 years old I entered a new school in Spain, my country. As a consequence a stopped studying French and started with English. Our teacher of English used songs very often that we learned by heart. "Honey" was the first one and I fell in love with it... 47 years ago. Nowadays that so many wives and husbands are passing away due to this crazy pandemia, I listen to "Honey" and tears have come to my eyes once more. Thank you, India, very much!
This song always makes me cry, just been reading all the comments from 8 months ago, hope everyone is feeling ok, loss of a loved one is so hard, God bless you all
Now you're getting into my dad's music. Love this song. There's so much good music out there. So glad people are again starting to notice. He came home and she was crying because she found out she was dying.
This song is absolutely beautiful and it’s one of my fav. My mom passed away during the time this song came out and every time I hear it, it reminds me of her.
I saw him sing this at the Kansas State Fair in the late 1960s. He wore an aqua blue velvet bell-bottom pantsuit and his voice was so smooth. Memories.
Such a sweet old song that just rings my heart. Great get India! I HIGHLY recommend "At Seventeen" by Janis Ian. A real emotional song about growing up not exactly a peer favorite. You'll enjoy it!
I was about 10 when this came out and does it ever bring back memories! I listened to music at a young age , my dad actually bought me headsets with a 10 ft cord and when I did my cleaning I would put them on and enjoyed it when I did my chores. Yes kids we had to do our chores with no payment, the odd time I would get a quarter and that bought a fair size paper bag worth of goodies. Love this song.
My wife passed away almost 4 years ago and this song brings tears to my eyes I'll never be over it
If this song doesn't touch your heart, your dead inside.
Yes. Always have to try to hold back a tear when I listen(still can't do it(lol)).
I never could hold back the tears either.
I guess I’m dead
Even 55 years later I cry when I hear this 😭
This was my mum’s favorite song, she died 2 years later after it was released, I was 10 years old when she died and everytime I hear this I think of her
I just lost my own mother my best ally I feel for you my condolences I can't get over it I wish I was dead too
She wouldn't want to hear you say that . I lost my father at 9 , my mom at 14 I know pain .
@@leonardlarrisey1040 So sorry lad, that really is bad. Your tribute to them is to carry on living as best you can.
I was 20 when my mom passed from cancer in 1986. She loved John Denver and Barry Manilow. I still think of her when I hear their songs. Music does that.
My best wishes to all of you obviously you are stronger than me the pain is physical I wake up to it go to bed with it I am a lily of the field I am irrelevant and useless no one has ever been in love with me I need to make room for better people my time is up please God take me ! Merry. Christmas to you all
"One day the angels came." Beautiful way to explain a tragic moment. Only those who have suffered such a great loss can fully comprehend this song.
I played this song at my wife's funeral Feb 24th -20. We were married 45 years, She had me plant an Oak tree in our back yard on the ranch about two years after we were married. It would take three big men to hold hands to reach around the trunk of this tree. This song makes me mourn her and bring tears to my eyes
When my beloved wife died, my neighbors of our cul de sac, gave me a rose bush. They told me to plant it in front of the house so they could remember her as they walked by. The plant is doing well. I am so thankful to have such kind friends.
I miss those days when songs told stories that tugged at your heart strings.
James Blunt - Monsters & The girl who never was
If there was ever a song that could bring a tear to the eye, this was one of them. Such a sad story and Bobby tells it with emotion..
Bobby Goldsboro (Honey)1968 You must check this show out!! ua-cam.com/video/1zM3q5NHfWU/v-deo.html
I’m a 63-year-old man and this song still brings A tear to My eye 👁
Always puts a knot in my throat.
I always considered this the saddest song of all tine...
Listen to Teddy Bear by Red Sovine

And then James blunt came out with monsters
My eyes are leaking all down my face.. I DO know how it feels India, my best beloved husband passed away 2 and a half years ago, we were together for 36 years and married for nearly 34..
Songs like this make me weep and remember emotional things, or silly things we did together.. You never forget the person who died, the love is kept in a safe place, until we meet again..

So sorry for your loss!
@@e-rod2888 thank you for you kind words.. Best wishes to you Elva. from Wales UK
When "the angel came" is a metaphor that Honey died and went to heaven.
That's when I always lose it! 😪
My interpretation of the song was that Honey was an emotionally troubled woman who committed suicide
@@lindaeasley5606 Yeah I mean she cries a bunch so it's not a stretch😐
Knew Bobby, was born across the street from me. My mom taught him piano.
Very nice family, yes the song was true, he was always kind and gentle, a very good human.
Honey - a heartbreaking song about a love that did not end, even after Honey died; the saddest song I have ever heard.
l Lost my wife 4 years ago and this song hits home so much, thank you for playing it...
This was one of Bobby's biggest hits. Was such a great singer. Song still makes Me cry everytime. My husband has been gone now for almost 9 year's and my heart still hurts. We where together for 27 year's.
Hi India I just wanted to say I'm 60 you have to listen to the words of the whole song because it begins to tell you the whole story throughout the song and then you realize what the artist is saying to the listeners. Have a great listening experience its like no other - God Bless!!!!!
OMG... My mom used to sing this and cry. Haven't heard it in a long time. Now I'm gonna cry... 🇨🇦❤️
Dang Girl, you've gone Old School. I remember watching him on tv. His vibrato is what I remember most about him.
I love the soprano singers in this. They sound like angels.
She told him that she was crying over a movie....
He found her crying needlessly...she knew she was dying. ...kept it from him. God, that tears me to pieces!
Outstanding cover version of the saddest most original song about losing a loved one. Just beautiful❤️
Oh, a heart breaker. Sending me back in time, always made me cry. Now crying again.
I can't hear this without crying. That, last kiss and teddy bear.
I'm glad to see younger people listening to these songs it makes me feel better
I think I first heard this song in 1968? When I was10? It still makes me cry when I hear it to this day.
When I saw you smiling before you started listening, I really wanted to warn you. It makes me cry every time, for my own reasons.
Every time I hear this song...I have to fight back the tears.
One of the best song that will make you cry.
This one makes me cry as soon as the first note plays. Yes, I'm crying now.
I admit it I cry everytime I hear that song even when I was a kid
Thank you so much. I don´t heard this Song for a very Long Time! Asolute best greatest Wishes and Greatings from Germany!!!
I'm 61 and this song makes me cry every time I listen to it. It is a sad song.
Well, the second time in the song where “she” was crying, is because she has found out, that she’s dying 😥

"Watching Scotty Grow" is another great song by this incredible artist.
Ive nver heard of this song until I seen it reccomended here. I looked it up and I LOVED IT. Thank you for recomending this one.
I named my son Scott because of that song. I played it for him. He wasn't impressed..
@@lisasiegrist6108 that's awesome. Maybe he'll come to appreciate it.
@@jojoelf1 yes, i have heard Honey. Its one of my favorires, and I cry every time I hear it.
@@sandyr-w6906 I love the old, sad songs. I'm not an elvis fan but one of my favorite songs is " mama liked the roses".
To be so lucky to find a pure love.
...and then lose her? That's luck? I suppose better than never at all.
Back in those days, there was not such casual sex. People committed to each other and most people stayed married. Today, there doesn't seem to be as much deep love, HONOR and commitment to each other.

I was an 8 yr old child when this song came out, and I cried then..and tears leak out of me now.
A great song, but maybe the saddest song ever!
I was 10 when this came out in 1968. I've always loved it. One of those songs I haven't heard in years and years but I still know all the words.
I was 10 on 68 also. I liked the ballad love songs. Poor Side of Town by Johnny Rivers was another good one.

This song always makes me cry. It was one of my Mom's favorites when I was growing up.

Yes, I'm tearing up now🙄 remember the first time hearing this song in 1968 with friends, on the radio & crying.
I've loved this song since I was about 10yrs old, 55 yrs.
Oh in 68 I was 6 and I remember this song playing on my moms car radio, I always thought it was such a sad but sweet song. My mom also had the album and I still have it...♡
To me, this is a killer song - I love it but I can't hear it without tears. It touches deep.
Thank you very much for listening to this heartbreaking song,but just beautiful regardless. I love singing along to him.
I used to sing this song to my kids when they were young and they would cry, but still wanted me to sing it to them. Brings back memories. Great song and nobody sang it better than Bobby.
Every time I have heard this song since 1968 I have cried !! Its so beautiful !! What true love is !

When I saw this I clicked immediately... great song. So sad. Thank you for reviewing this.

Beautiful raw song❤️
Beautiful song. Always makes me cry.
