He is an absolute legend. Try "Golden Ring" (with Tammy Wynette), "Whose Gonna Fill Their Shoes," "I Don't Need Your Rockin' Chair," or "The Grand Tour."
3:09 When MrLboyd gets it! Love it! Yep, saddest song ever. This time he's over her for good. DAMN!!! Gets you right in the ol' gut. For a different perspective, check out Alan Jackson's version of this song performed at George Jones' funeral 20 feet away from the casket.
Opening line is "He said I will love you until I die".... and yet so many people completely miss that line and don't realize that the song is about a guy who kept his promise. He loved her until he died, despite being lonely, heart-broken, and literally miserable for the rest of his life. He simply couldn't give his heart to someone else.
The first line says "He said I'll love you till I die" and that's exactly what he did. I'm so glad you understood that. I am amazed at the people who react to this song and think he stopped loving her because he finally gave up on her and moved on. That sort of interpretation sort of makes the song just another song. When it is interpreted correctly it becomes one of the greatest country music songs ever recorded.
George Jones did not want to record this song. He said it was morbid and no one would want to listen to this song. It now is recognized as the greatest country song ever recorded.
This is the greatest country song ever recorded!! George Jones had a super voice.Seen him in concert and loved every minute of it! Try it’s a Good Day for the Roses, it’s another great song as only he could do it!!!!
Probably the most iconic song in country music, by the most iconic singer in country music. I always love seeing a first time reaction to this song, at the moment when they get the true meaning. Thanks for this reaction.
The juxtaposition of the beautiful melody, instruments, and singing against the heartbreaking message of the song makes these old country songs great. The old possum was one of the greats.
The next George Jones you do should absolutely be his duet with Tammy Wynette (one of his four wives lol) “Golden Ring”. One of the best duets in Country Music.
this song was voted song of the year, then song of the decade, then song of the century and finally best country song of all time. this song is very rarely covered because it is so iconic. alan jackson sang it at george's funeral. if you want to watch a tear jerker, vince gill sings go rest high on that mountain at george's funeral and there is not a dry eye in the place
George truly loved Tammy until the end. When they divorced and had an estate sale I went. The wrought iron gates to the entrance of my farm were the ones they had at their estate. Needless to say, I hear a GG song every time that I enter. Lol. After the divorce, George lived in a single-wide trailer across the street from my commercial building. Our friend, Peanut, owned a bar there on Nashville’s west side and the trailer was in the parking lot. I would pull into work and wave to George every morning at 7:45 as I arrived. He would be outside drinking coffee and reading the paper.
George is a Legend... no doubt... I'm not sure when this was done but he was older then when he originally recorded it... I love this song so much and have since it came out in the 80's. Thank you for reacting
I love your reaction. You got it very rigth. "I love you til i die" and as he died he sopped loving her. So many reactors dont get it. One have just listen to the lyrics well. You did it!
George Jones is a master of getting you to feel emotion. For something still emotional that doesn't make you want to cry try Walk through this world with me. For something to make you chuckle afterwards go for the Corvette Song!
This is often referred to as the greatest country song ever. A bold statement but when it comes to true country music, it’s hard to deny. Two other greats of his are “Choices” and “Who’s gonna fill their shoes” a song he put out when country music started going pop.
@@Amaberean The Country Music Association polled its members about twenty years ago. The third place song was "Crazy" by Patsy Cline at number two was this song and at Number One was Tammy's "Stand by Your Man" so I would suggest you might want to re-access your comment.
My favorite George Jones song. I was lucky enough to see him once....with John Anderson ( during his "Swingin' Days) and George Strait. It was a great concert and we did have to wait a few min for him to come out on stage like was his habit at the time. But it was worth it.
You are one of the very very few reactors who got the meaning! With mourning and funeral customs changing over the years, many miss it and think he's moving on... One of the saddest songs in Country music, one of the first Country songs I heard, and definitely one of the songs that got me immediately hooked on Country music and it's storytelling... Amazing reaction! 💗
George was around a LONG time and had many hits. They range from the sad HE STOPPED LOVING HER TODAY to the lighthearted THE CORVETTE SONG to the nostalgic WHO’s GONNA FILL THEIR SHOES to one of his earliest hits WHITE LIGHTENING , a song about moonshine.
Ah, yes! His version of White Lightnin is great. He should listen to that as well as the Big Bopper's version of the song. A fun song done in two rather different styles.
George Jones was married to Tammy Wynette for years and they had a daughter but he drank so badly and they fussed and fought like cats and dogs but they truly loved each other. And had so many great songs together and apart. One of the best duets ever together, but they just couldn't stay together as many and wife. Thank you for playing it. I love that song.
Great job listening and analyzing this song. It's surprising how many reactors don't get it that he passed although there are several clues, but the intro "he said I'll love you 'til I die" sets it up for later where "he stopped loving her today" closes his life. Add the wreath upon his door; they'll carry him away. Thanks!!
Such a classic!! I was a young kid when my Uncle was going through a divorce. He would sit in his game room/bar with his juke box playing this song. He was so sad. It wasn't until later that I understood the meaning. I get the chills hearing it today.
This is the best why George is a Legend. In county music a quality sad song is called a Jonesy. By the way, he lost a $1 bet on this song. He swore it would be a flop and it turned out to be a mega hit.
One of the most beautiful yet sad country songs ever. Songs like this are the core of country music. Yes, he has an amazing voice. If you haven't heard it yet, I highly recommend Who's Gonna Fill Their Shoes. It's a beautiful song that asks a real question that applies not only to country music, but to other things as well. Who among the upcoming generations will become the pillars of the community? Who will have the courage to lead the way? Who will keep the traditions alive?
After my husband died in 1979, my brother called me crying and said listen to this song. Still to this day, it reminds me of my husband. It still hurts.
I am happy to see other folks recognizing the beauty of the classics. The songs that the legends dang told stories. The music is meant to be emotional.
That was AWESOME. You were all smiles when you heard that "he didn't see no tears, all dressed up to go away, first time I've seen him smile in years", and even when "they placed a wreath upon his door", it hadn't yet registered, but once "soon they'll carry him away", your face told that you SUDDENLY realized that yeah, he's dead.
I've noticed through your reactions, Mr Boyd, just how much you truly love the classic country. Like genuinely. And I get it. I'm a hip hop head through and through. But there is something about the sound, the emotion conveyed through the voices, the simple instrumentals, and the stories told - that CAPTIVATE. Great reaction. Can't wait to see more.
i love George Jones! I was thinking about Whose going to fill their Shoes just yesterday. It was a song about the old country singers and who would replace them. And I thought who the heck is going to fill your shoes. I don't know.
When GJ sang this song and most people hadn't heard it yet, he would spring the surprise on the audience by holding the "carry him away" (included only once) to near the end of the song, followed by a wailed-sung "he stopped loving her today." on an emphatic descending melody. It was very effective in providing shock.
Some George Jones songs I recommend are Rockin’ Chair, The Grand Tour, Why Baby Why, The One I Loved Back Then (The Corvette Song), Finally Friday, and The Cold Hard Truth.
What I love about this song is that the very first line is a setup for the entire song. And for the chorus. Personal opinion this is an absolute Masterpiece of lyrical manipulation.
Mr. George Jones was a real case. Often failing to appear at his own concerts in his later years, he was sometimes called "No-Show" Jones. His main moniker was "The Possum". What's certain about him is that he possessed perhaps the most beautiful male singing voice in the entire history of country music. He was a living, breathing, hard-drinking legend in his own time, and anyone who ever heard him sing became a lifetime fan & admirer. About the song, you got the idea right away, and that's not something everyone can so easily do. I liked & subscribed, entirely because you spoke of Mr. Jones and his song with great respect & humility & intellect, and now I'm a fan of yours. Thanks. I was going to recommend another of his songs, and so I'll suggest you give a shot at "The Grand Tour".
You’re amazing! I’ve watched other reactors react to this song and nobody gets it. You’re the first one I’ve watched that immediately got the premise of this song. Just like you did when you heard Elvis, If I Can Dream.
Its been said that he was the only country singer that could take a single syllable word and make it a 3 or 4 syllable word. Great singer. Golden Rings is a good song he sang with his X wife, Tammy Wynette.

Such a hauntingly sad iconic country song. George Jones is certainly at the top of the country singer food chain.
Check your titles!! Living?? Like your reactions but c'mon man....✌️
@@stevehope6283 what’s wrong with this title?
I love this song but my 2 favorite songs by him are
The Cold Hard Truth and When The Last Curtain Falls.
I definitely recommend. you listen to them.
He is an absolute legend. Try "Golden Ring" (with Tammy Wynette), "Whose Gonna Fill Their Shoes," "I Don't Need Your Rockin' Chair," or "The Grand Tour."
Bartender Blues is my favorite from him that shouldn't go forgotten
The Corvette song and White Lightning is great as well
YES to ALL of these💯💯💯
Choices is another great song
@@jeremyfagner6808 Yeah that one is good as well, another one is his version of Blues man with Dolly Parton
3:09 When MrLboyd gets it! Love it! Yep, saddest song ever. This time he's over her for good. DAMN!!! Gets you right in the ol' gut.
For a different perspective, check out Alan Jackson's version of this song performed at George Jones' funeral 20 feet away from the casket.
I had the same comment
Still can’t get thru The Video of Alan’s without tearing up
Greatest country song ever!
Opening line is "He said I will love you until I die".... and yet so many people completely miss that line and don't realize that the song is about a guy who kept his promise. He loved her until he died, despite being lonely, heart-broken, and literally miserable for the rest of his life. He simply couldn't give his heart to someone else.
This guy caught it the first time around!
His voice was even better, like most singers, when he was younger.
Nobody sings like George Jones.
Maybe Hank Sr., but George is just incredible!
I love this man......he has so many beautiful songs.....The Grand Tour shows his amazing voice but then again everything he sings is amazing
The first line says "He said I'll love you till I die" and that's exactly what he did. I'm so glad you understood that.

Congratulations on listening to the greatest voice in music history. Rest in peace Mr Jones.
I love George Jones one of the best Country music singers Ever.
GEORGE!!! He could really make you feel the story in the song. One of the greatest ever!
George Jones was so amazing. I don't think you'll find a single song of his you won't like.
George Jones “Corvette Song” is LEGEND!!!! 10 out of 10!!!
When it comes to George Jones suggestions, the suggestions are endless. He was a true country music legend.
The world is full of singers but just a few are chosen..to tear your heart out when they sing… George Jones was one of the chosen.
This is one of the most amazing, heart breaking, tear jerking, country love songs ever written.
A True legend who can sing a Picture.......🤠✌️♥️
IMHO, this is the greatest Country song ever written. And his voice just makes it 1000 times more powerful.
He hadn't said anything at all about Mama, or trains, or trucks, or prison, or getting' drunk...
This is the greatest country song ever recorded!!
George Jones had a super voice.Seen him in concert and loved every minute of it!
Try it’s a Good Day for the Roses, it’s another great song as only he could do it!!!!
George Jones has such a unique voice that I have always liked. Thanks for the reaction
The LEGEND that is George Jones!
He said, “I’ll love you ‘til I die.” And, he did. Wonderful song by the great George Jones.
ABSOLUTE LEGEND & CLASSIC ♥️♥️♥️♥️
Definitely my favorites by George Jones..Walk Through This World With Me, and She Thinks I Still Care.
Probably the most iconic song in country music, by the most iconic singer in country music. I always love seeing a first time reaction to this song, at the moment when they get the true meaning. Thanks for this reaction.
The juxtaposition of the beautiful melody, instruments, and singing against the heartbreaking message of the song makes these old country songs great. The old possum was one of the greats.
The next George Jones you do should absolutely be his duet with Tammy Wynette (one of his four wives lol)
“Golden Ring”.
One of the best duets in Country Music.
this song was voted song of the year, then song of the decade, then song of the century and finally best country song of all time. this song is very rarely covered because it is so iconic. alan jackson sang it at george's funeral. if you want to watch a tear jerker, vince gill sings go rest high on that mountain at george's funeral and there is not a dry eye in the place
This has been the #1 country music Love Song for Many, Many years!!
The greatest song ever written ❤️
George truly loved Tammy until the end. When they divorced and had an estate sale I went. The wrought iron gates to the entrance of my farm were the ones they had at their estate. Needless to say, I hear a GG song every time that I enter. Lol. After the divorce, George lived in a single-wide trailer across the street from my commercial building. Our friend, Peanut, owned a bar there on Nashville’s west side and the trailer was in the parking lot. I would pull into work and wave to George every morning at 7:45 as I arrived. He would be outside drinking coffee and reading the paper.
One of the greatest Country Music Artist we ever have had.
How can anyone NOT be moved by this song, right?
Greatest Country song of all time
Your face when it dawned on you! That’s why I love to watch your reactions; so genuine.
One of my favourite country songs of all time. It is sad but so beautiful.
George is a Legend... no doubt... I'm not sure when this was done but he was older then when he originally recorded it... I love this song so much and have since it came out in the 80's. Thank you for reacting
this was one of my papas favorite songs. they played it at his funeral. RIP Papa ❤️

The “Greatest song in Country Music.”?
It’s good, but let’s stay in the real world.
Choices is one of my favorites.
@@Amaberean The Country Music Association polled its members about twenty years ago. The third place song was "Crazy" by Patsy Cline at number two was this song and at Number One was Tammy's "Stand by Your Man" so I would suggest you might want to re-access your comment.
Any and all George Jones!
The all-time greatest country song ever written.
No one will ever be on the level of George Jones, one of the greatest song stylists to ever sing.
This song is considered by many as the greatest country song ever. Hard to argue that.
Possibly the saddest song ever performed, and what a legend to perform it.
Thanks for this. It was one of my Dad's favorite songs. Old George was something else.
I have always loved this song
My favorite George Jones song. I was lucky enough to see him once....with John Anderson ( during his "Swingin' Days) and George Strait. It was a great concert and we did have to wait a few min for him to come out on stage like was his habit at the time. But it was worth it.
Listen to our bed of roses by George Jones the best country singer ever sure do miss him
You are one of the very very few reactors who got the meaning! With mourning and funeral customs changing over the years, many miss it and think he's moving on...
One of the saddest songs in Country music, one of the first Country songs I heard, and definitely one of the songs that got me immediately hooked on Country music and it's storytelling...
Amazing reaction! 💗
This was my favorite song back in the days when I hung out in bars south of Houston. I still like it, it's a amazing song.
George was around a LONG time and had many hits. They range from the sad HE STOPPED LOVING HER TODAY to the lighthearted THE CORVETTE SONG to the nostalgic WHO’s GONNA FILL THEIR SHOES to one of his earliest hits WHITE LIGHTENING , a song about moonshine.
Ah, yes! His version of White Lightnin is great. He should listen to that as well as the Big Bopper's version of the song. A fun song done in two rather different styles.
The Grand Tour lyric will bring tears..about their baby
I love how you review all different types of music. George Jones was a great story teller.
Your expression was priceless when you realized what the song was about.
Probably the greatest country song ever sung.
Love George
George Jones was married to Tammy Wynette for years and they had a daughter but he drank so badly and they fussed and fought like cats and dogs but they truly loved each other.

Never saw that performance,I really enjoyed it. Thanks.
Yes, there's a musical instrument in Possum's voice.. so nice to hear it...
One of the most beautiful yet sad country songs ever. Songs like this are the core of country music. Yes, he has an amazing voice.

My 75 year old moms favorite song for over 30 years xo
One of my favorite songs
After my husband died in 1979, my brother called me crying and said listen to this song. Still to this day, it reminds me of my husband. It still hurts.
This song hits so close to home... until I die...
Wow many people that react to this song does not get that he died. Glad to see that you did :) - great reaction
I am happy to see other folks recognizing the beauty of the classics. The songs that the legends dang told stories. The music is meant to be emotional.
This is the number one country song of all time!!
That was AWESOME. You were all smiles when you heard that "he didn't see no tears, all dressed up to go away, first time I've seen him smile in years", and even when "they placed a wreath upon his door", it hadn't yet registered, but once "soon they'll carry him away", your face told that you SUDDENLY realized that yeah, he's dead.
I love seeing those moments when you suddenly realize what the song is about.
That moment when the reactor figures out why he stopped loving her. GOLD.
One of the best country singers ever. The Grand Tour, I don't need your rocking chair, Golden Rings with Tammy Wynette
Legend.
The greatest country song of all time.
This is real country music. The best.
I've noticed through your reactions, Mr Boyd, just how much you truly love the classic country. Like genuinely. And I get it. I'm a hip hop head through and through.

His best song.

Still my favorite song. Still makes me cry
You should listen to him sing "Who's gonna fill their shoes". Mentioning a lot of country legends!
Song is one of the greatest love song
I love this 🎵🎶🎵
George is amazing

The only song that made my father cry. He and mother were married 60 years upon his death.
The steel guitar always gives me goose bumps… I’m not a true fan of country anymore but there’s a mesmerizing factor in some of the music, right?😥
Its been said that he was the only country singer that could take a single syllable word and make it a 3 or 4 syllable word. Great singer. Golden Rings is a good song he sang with his X wife, Tammy Wynette.
