I recorded this vocal for Danny… As he sang, … I knew what your comments would be. He was a dear friend… And he is so missed. He lived for all his fans… I’m glad you all get to see him here again at his finest. I know he would love your comments. And he would have come backs for the haters… he was the real deal.♥️
This is my Brother 100 percent. His name was Danny. He sent me this song before he passed away he drank and sat at the river he always said he had pain in the mind he drank and worried our mother and when she died he couldn't handle life anymore. So he went to the river and drank every day. Well Danny passed away a day before his birthday March 23 he would have turned 55 on the 24. He passed away from saroces of the liver he was so sad. After the damage was done he hugged my sister and said I don't want to die. When he was passing I got in my car took a ride up to the School and was screaming God why after I broke, I headed back to watch my little brother pass away.. Rest in peace Danny Allen the pain of the mind is at rest
I love this man his words are exactly the way I feel l to me he already has won all the awards😢... without the help of Hollywood's help f----k all the bigwoods,,..
Saw the original JJ Grey version come up on my recommendations and I was blown away. Listened to it 3 times in a row, tears every time. Then I saw THIS version and....more tears, the molecular level kind. This is easily one of the greatest songs of all time. And, if you’ve struggled with self destructive tendencies then I’m sure it will hit you just like it hit me. Wow.
Agree!! It’s profoundly powerful. Every time I listen to this song and lyrics I cry for the damage this disease causes and my family members who struggle with it.
Yessir! We are very fortunate to be alive for sure. Well unless you say enough is enough. I know that I'm not just going to say hey I'm in control but it's about to hit the fan and you are control of this little situation I think that you control the body of mine so that it's the proper thing we're going to get this thing together and I have that you've never given up because if you haven't then things are going to work yourself out
This Man's music has kept me from going under for a VERY LONG time. THIS song!!!!! THE RIVER WAS MY only refuge... My only escape..... My only escape.... It was my only escape from myself. Only this river... Can show me my way
This song changed my life. You wouldn't believe how much. Thank you Danny. Tell God I said hi and will see you when it's time. Thank you as well to JJ Grey and the Mofros
Jesus...this makes me cry every damn time. I grew up with the Little Walnut behind my house. And my ashes will be with my friends and family, floating downstream one day. Love you all.
"where did my soul go?, where did spirit hide?,why won't they rescue me,from the pain in my mind?"....I was just looking for some Danny clips and found this. didn't know he sang. wow! intense song!
Greatest song ever!!!! just curious how J J Grey got permission to even try to sing such a great song as this??? I was told after I first stumbled up on This River by Danny and listen to hit that J J was one his kids that didn't have nothing to do with Danny but after he passed away tried to start singing his song but he caint cause not singing from the heart like Danny did??? just curious
Working with the non sheltered population downtown Nashville has humbled me to my very core. A lot of them live on the Cumberland river. This is one of the most powerful song I believe I have ever listened to. Being an alcoholic myself for 8 years I know the struggles. It was when I sincerely repented of my sins ,turned away from my sinful ways and placed all my faith and trust in Jesus that I was able to let go of my own will and focus on doing the will of God. I am now a downtown ambassador and it’s right where God wants me to be in life at this point. In many ways the non sheltered saved me along the way. One of them is my little brother. Pray for me to have courage to keep sharing the Gospel and pray for those living in darkness may come to the light. Have a blessed day!!!
man I have lost so many great friend to addictions ,but for the grace of God go I, get help if you need it , sober life is so much better.PEACE FRIENDS.
On June 13th of this year my veteran friend lost his battle with ptsd and took his life at the River by our house. I play this song and weep...it’s a great song and he is missed. A tragic loss...
Reminds me of me,and so much pain,so many rivers,so many bottle's, I could never find the answers that I was looking 4.I only found loneliness.....and more pain.#sober4six months
Hands down Best performance of this song. I've never heard or watched. The man is not only a great actor. But a great singer. One hell of a performer and One hell of a performance. Powerful
The POWER IN THIS RUNS THROUGH ME .LIKE THIS BAYOU IN LOUISIANA RUNS THROUGH ME .AS MY FATHER DOES ..R.I.P.. POP . AND FOR YOU MR.JJ 😂 DAMN DUDE YOU A POWER HOUSE THROUGH MY SOUL LISTENING TO YOU .I LOVE ALL YOUR MUSIC ITS ALL IN MY PLAYLISTS ❣️ THE LOUDER THE BETTER 😂🎸🎸THANK YOU FOR THE TIMES I NEEDED YOUR MUSIC TO GET ME THROUGH SOME ROUGH TIMES LOOSING MY DAD .THANK YOU PERSONALLY 😘SO ITS BEEN 5 LONG YEARS HE HAS PASSED .AND THATS WHEN I FIRST GOT MY BLUETOOTH SPEAKER AND FOUND YOU 🎵🎵 AND THE GUITAR .WHOLE NOTHER STORY 💕🤣👍💯😍😎 GOD BLESS .I'm 52.... Am I too old to be called a UA-cam Groupie for you 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 LMAO
I felt every word…I, too, was an addict, wondering and wandering, until I had enough courage to get up and stop…with help , of course..but this song hits my soul deeply…🩷💕🩷 thank GOD for second chances…
Sir, you are an amazing man, but you have touched my soul with such warmth and love singing this beautiful song. JJ & Mofro are Blessed to have you collaborate with them. Much Love & Light Always 💛🕯🕊🙏 Thank you dearly
I had never heard this companion to the JJ Grey version, and cried all the way through. Rest In Peace Danny, you were loved. This song has a very deep meaning to a lot of people.
This song reminds me of myself. I can hear the pain and cry of his soul. I've also turned to alcohol for solace, but only works for just a short time. I am a CHRISTIAN, and I pray, but when is my prayers gonna be answered? 😥. Has my Lord forgotten me, I hope not. My trust in Him/God/Jesus, will stand firm. SO, I guess that I need prayer, not just for myself, but for all. ✝️
I so relate Danny amazing. I just lost my husband to cirrosus of the liver. Knew this is how he felt in his mind. This song touches my soul and helps me get through a day knowing my sweet Johnnie is out of pain. Thank you Danny for such a powerful rendition.
Alcoholism run on both sides of my family. I'm 65 and just finished healing with this song.I hope my father hears this song before he goes to his grave.God bless him.We haven't spoken in thirty years.I'll leave it at that.
This why I spend hours haunting obscure areas of UA-cam. I think this is an exceptional video, and a beautiful challenge to folks reaching the river's end.
wow. that is talent. its not that hes the best singer. its the way he is able to hit the notes that matter. and the emotion that he can put into it. i was really impressed.
You should have heard my brother when he was younger. His voice was beautiful. But still, I agree with you here. It is the way he brings the lyrics to life, makes you really feel them, that's more glorious than his voice.
Beautiful song, amazing voice. Danny has been one of my favourite actors for about as long as I can remember. This is such an pleasant surprise. Now I'm feeling nostalgic for a parallel career that could have been so much bigger. RIP Danny.
😭5/2022 This song touches me so deeply. these lyrics hit me so hard “….trying to find purpose, trying to see meaning, trying to make sense of this nonsense I call my life” and “see them all work and play, there on the other bank, warm in their houses, while I face my cold alone”. I’m not a drinker and I definitely don’t do drugs but I do feel the aloneness & hopelessness this song conveys. 😭😫
Today I heard DANNY AIOLLO…and SAM COOKE…with the same message…we’ve come a long way…and still haven’t come far enough…you have always been 1 of my favorite ACTORS…thank you SIR…🙏🏾💯👍🏾
I've lived every word of this song.Praise God I'm FREE!! I suspect Mr.Aiello is as well.Fly high not only for yourself,but for the rest of us who haven't been called home yet. Fly high for us.
We know this man 😅 he's the the one loving mine every day tryin to feel his pain I love you Shane an sam an crew Steven crowder gospel recorded in eastern KY
I just saw that the other Danny Aiello passed on...another great one gone! May he R.I.P and know many appreciate experiencing him as he lived....thank ya Danny...hugs!!!
This song reminds me of my desolate 20s. Life for me has changed since my 20s but these words in my 40s ring true, without the drinking part. Rivers do not run dry!
Thank you for this picture of my struggle in this life. I know God is able, however, the mind is a battle field. Praise God for the the deliverance of the clip from Danny.
I’m 53… and this song hits hard. I hve decades of pain. But I know that our Father in Heaven is waiting for us to come home.
I recorded this vocal for Danny… As he sang, … I knew what your comments would be. He was a dear friend… And he is so missed. He lived for all his fans… I’m glad you all get to see him here again at his finest. I know he would love your comments. And he would have come backs for the haters… he was the real deal.♥️
Awesome!! I didn’t know he made thus video and was so happy to find it. This video tells a powerful story as does his voice. Just incredible.
Thank you for bringing this full circle. 🙏🎗️
No hater’s her
Dude I found this song by accident..... but maybe it was God's for me to find it...Thank You Danny Aiello
Loved him
Remember we are the children of the father the father of all things and I love you brother's and sister's
The river is the holy spirit.
What a genuine man.We lost a great man.If anyone made it to heaven it would be him

This river has brought me through the darkest night of my life.💛
I feel truly blessed to have seen JJ Grey & Mofro in the last couple weeks in Florida. LOVE this version!

Is this the actor Danny Aiello?
Never mind, I just answered my own question. I never knew he sang. What a great find. Thanks UA-cam.
Beautiful song, amazing voice. Danny has been one of my favourite actors for about as long as I can remember. This is such an pleasant surprise. Now I'm feeling nostalgic for a parallel career that could have been so much bigger. RIP Danny.
What a tribute! What a legend! God Bless!
Beautiful, Beautiful song.
