The storytelling on this tune is UNREAL! What country song should we listen to next?
Hurt by Johnny Cash, you might cry over that one.
@@oliviadriver1362 We actually checked that out here on the channel not too long ago! On our homepage look under the playlist ‘Solo Artists.’ Or you can probably type it in the search bar on the channel! Thanks for hanging out!
Try Johnny Cash doing "Out Among the Stars" a great story line with a surprise at the end too.
The first line of the song is "He said I'll love her till I die". The rest of the song explains how he did indeed do just that.
That’s awesome!
Yep. Came full circle to the opening line. I remember when I first heard and understood this song. I love watching the reactions when newcomers hear it & you see them processing the emotions and then ... Aha! Great songwriting indeed.
George Jones is the GOAT of country. George Strait is King of country. King George 👑
Alan Jackson sang this at George Jones' funeral. Not a dry eye in the place. I can't watch the video without shedding a tear or two, but it is such a beautiful tribute.
I bet that was quite emotional!
Its been said that when George Jones sings, the audience cries, the band cries and the roof starts leaking. Waylon Jennings once said that if we could all sound like we wanted to, we'd sound like George Jones.
I remember Hoss saying that. And given that he himself had one of the finest voices ever to draw breath, that was high praise.
Old Country is the real thing!
Shewee! Absolutely loved this one! Thanks for watching!
My wife passed almost 7 years ago. This song is my life
So sorry for your loss…
My fear is losing music.😢 it's a part of our soul!!!😱
@ffc303 music is a big part of my life
@@warrenburlingame1172 🥰
I can’t believe how many people miss the meaning of this song. This isn’t about a husband and wife. It’s about a man who loved a woman who left him that he couldn’t get over. He kept old love letters, kept thinking she’d come back someday she never did and he stopped, loving her the day he died. It’s right in the lyrics.
He said, "I'll love you till I die"
She told him, "You'll forget in time"
He kept her picture on his wall
Went half crazy now and then
But he still loved her through it all
Hoping she'd come back again.
His friends weren’t even sure if she would show up to the funeral
You know, she came to see him one last time (ooh)
Ah, and we all wondered if she would (ooh)
And it kept runnin' through my mind (ooh)
"This time he's over her for good"
You GOT IT
Many don't get the wreath thing. As many don't do that any more. Or they don't really listen to the words.
In the South when someone in the house dies they put " A wreath " on the door. Not all do it but some still do.
98% of UA-cam reaction channels completely miss that the guy died and that’s why “He stopped loving her today”. 🙄 It’s unbelievable. Many are happy at the end because he was finally able to get over her. 😂
🤣😂 Glad I was able to catch it! Such a great song for sure! Thanks for watching!
How could they get it wrong? He tells you they put a wreath on his door and are going to carry him away.
George was my father's favorite artist and this was his favorite song, he said that this was how he felt about my mom and wanted it played at his funeral...and in June it was. This song ALWAYS brings me to tears especially now. Thanks for this reaction, my dad would love to know that younger people are discovering GJ.
So sorry for your loss! 🙏🏻 This is such an amazing song and even through I just discovered it, I have been listening to it constantly lately! Glad that I finally gave country music a chance because I am loving it! ❤️
@@setonhillstudios Thanks again, George was married to Tammy Wynette for years and they did duets as well as having their own careers, you should check her out, her song D.I.V.O.R.C.E was big. OR Loretta Lynn's coal Miner's Daughter which had a movie by the same title.All with good storylines! Keep up the great job.
@@jimj.3086 I covered “Coal Miners Daughter” her on the channel a few days ago! Been on a Loretta Lynn kick here lately! 🔥
Vern Gosdin’s “Chiseled In Stone” is another classic tearjerker.
Awesome! Appreciate the suggestion and thanks for hanging out!
This kind of story telling is emblematic of the best of country music. Johnny Cash, Dolly Parton, George Jones, Tom T. Hall, The Statler Brothers, Kenny Rogers, Roger Miller, Merle Haggard and so many others are phenomenal storytellers with incredible songs from funny to tragic and everything in between.
Appreciate all the suggestions! Can’t wait to dig into some more country soon!
@@setonhillstudios The Statler Brothers are my personal favorites. "We Got Paid by Cash" is their tribute song to Johnny Cash who gave them their break into music. He greatly influenced their songwriting and musical style though they did develope their own style that no one else in country music had or sounded like.They toured with him for over 8 years before they went out on their own. They stayed loyal friends to Johnny and his wife, and he to them. I think you would like that song. They remain to this day, some 20 years after retiring, the most awarded act in the history of Country Music and are known as The Entertainers on and off the Record. They had tv specials, a tv show for 7 years, and 40 years of albums and tours after leaving Johnny. They were funny, highly entertaining, and put on great shows! They did funny songs, songs with clever turns of phrase, heartbreak songs, gospel songs, patriotic songs and more. With the exception of about 3 songs from the years they recorded albums under Johnny's label they never did the bar songs or drinking songs which is what makes me love them more than most country singers. Much of their music is nostalgic and that's always a great place to be. I hope you'll check them out. They are legends!
George Jones was known as the “King of Country” for decades. But he started out doing rockabilly and was known as “Thumper” Jones. He had some awesome rock songs before becoming the standard bearer for Country! You must hear his early version of “White Lightning”!!!!! His song about the original Country Stars he grew up idolizing is called “Who’s Gonna Fill Their Shoes?” is a must hear.
Oh wow! Definitely have to check some of that out. Appreciate it! 😄
George Jones was a country legend singer songwriter from the 50's-80's. He struggled with alcoholism & drugs during his life. He was married at one time to fellow country music singer Tammy Wynette & they had some great duets together. He had so many hits such as "White Lightnin'", "She Thinks I Still Care", "We Must Have Been Out Of Our Minds", "Love Bug", "Things Have Gone to Pieces", "The Race Is On", "My Favorite Lies", "I'll Share My World With You", "Take Me", "A Good Year For The Roses," "If My Heart Had Windows" & many others.
Thanks for the suggestions!
First line of song-- he said he'd love her till he died!
It’s seems he did! 😳 Great storytelling!
The first and last phrases of the song tell it all. "He said, I'll love you till I die." "He stopped loving her today."
George Jones was and still is the definition of country music in every way ❤️👍
I absolutely love it when someone listens to this song for the first time and gets it!
Glad you enjoyed it and thanks for swinging by the channel!
George Jones like all but once. His voice and manner using it will never be again.
Producer Billy Sherrill introduced Jones to the song in 1978 but, according to Sherrill and Jones himself, the singer hated the song when he first heard it. In Bob Allen's biography of the singer, Sherrill states, "He thought it was too long, too sad, too depressing and that nobody would ever play it. He hated the melody and wouldn't learn it." It has been named in several surveys as the greatest country song of all time.
The lesson here is never record a song you hate because you'll be singing it every night for the rest of your life.
I read somewhere that George didn’t want to record this because nobody would listen to that morbid SOB
So much greatness in Country Music!
You young folks gotta listen more ,every thing you think your going tru has been written,a thousand times.
Song gives me chills.
I've listened to this so many times over the decades I've lost count of how many times and every single time I cry like it was the first time. George could reach your heart and thanks to recorded music he still can. For a more upbeat side to George, you might want to check out "White Lightening". Thanks for sharing this George Jones moment.
This was not George's best performance but this is an incredible song
Gotcha! Thanks so much for swinging by the channel! Can’t wait to hear more from him!
Seeing the great man perform live 3 times accounts for 3 of the best gifts of my life.
Like many, a troubled soul. However, his gift of communication through song was truly George's salvation. A once in a century talent.
George jones is the greatest country singer of all time
Best country song of all time.
It was pretty great!
Ole Possum! Yesss.....☘️🇺🇲
Glad you enjoyed the video, thanks for hanging with us!
I love to watch reactors light come on when they get it.
George Straight is the King of Country. George Jones is a Legendary Country Icon. He is one of the Forefathers, and helped shape Country music into what it is (or was. I agree with your comments about some of todays "country" music).
To those of us who were young adult country fans in the 1960s, George Jones was King. To my parents Hank Senior was King.
Just pause for a moment to recognise George Jones' effortless 3 octave range. Today, singers can't even hold a tune without a computer to help them.
Absolutely...
This is the greatest country song of all time
🙏💔George.
Funeral, He stopped loving her, today.😌. Try Red Sovine his song Teddy Bear.
"Authentic" - You nailed it
Dang, loved your honest reaction! Country always have stories and tear inducing songs! Peace from Northern Michigan!
So glad you enjoyed the video and thanks for the kind words! Definitely have to keep exploring the country world more! Have a great one! 😁
Well, you got this about as fast as I've ever seen. Lots of reactors miss the whole thing. Great performance, and worthy of a subscription.
Loved this song and amazing storytelling! Thanks for the sub and swinging by! Have a great one!
so many people don't get it - say she died, or he found someone else, or anything else. i don't even know how they come up with some of it, but you were spot on! you got it in one shot.
Old “Possum” was the absolute GOAT of Country music. There never was one like him and there will never be again. He was the Country singer’s Country singer. Every male Country singer wanted to sound like him. His voice sounds like fresh-poured whiskey, so warm, smooth and kind of smoky. Just glorious. He was nicknamed “Possum” way back in the day when he wore a crew cut. With the crew cut, the long, straight nose and close-set eyes, he did look very much like an opossum. LOL! He loved the nickname and kept it.
This is basically the life of my uncle 😢 He loved a beautiful woman who walked away, he said he will love her till he dies and he did. Yes my dad wondered if she would attend the funeral and she did. This song always makes me Realize the pain of loving someone who stopped loving you and you are not built like that and can't just stop loving you. ❤
Wow!
Congrats on getting it the first time.
You Got it !!! All his songs are special !!!
There wasnt a plot twist. It was set up with the first line
I grew up on country in the 50s, 60s, until I heard on tv The Doors and my eyes were opened. I like Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, saw them in ‘75 El Paso, Lynyrd Skynyrd, but still go back to country for certain times….
So many great artists you named! This was definitely a pleasant surprise though! Thanks for watching! 😄
George said when he first heard this song, he didnt want to record it, said it was way to sad, but it became one of his biggest hits, i love your reactions lol to funny
Thanks so much! That’s wild he didn’t want to do it! Glad he changed his mind!
@setonhillstudios you are 1 of the few reactors that got the story correct that his friend passed away. Thanks for the reaction. Chris Stapleton is a huge “Country” star right now. I think you’ll enjoy his music! Please react to Chris’s “2021 CMA Awards “Cold”. It’s 🔥! He won Grammys,CMA’s, etc for it! He’s more soul,R&B,Outlaw Country! He’s a great songwriter, guitarist & has an incredible voice! Thanks!
Thanks for the recommendation and hanging out! Have a great one! 😁
Yes 👍
Even when you know the plot twist GJ captivates and brings tears to my eyes.
So true!
Although I didn’t think I liked country music as a kid, my Momma played Johnny Cash and Dolly Parton for me. Old school country has a purity which is so lovely! George Jones is a legend! Thank you for sharing young man!
😽🎶
Glad you enjoyed!
In the South, a wreath on the door, unless it was Christmas, meant someone in that household had died. The body would be dressed in their best clothes, open coffin, and the friends of the loved one would 'view the body'. In the really olden days, the coffin would be in the living room of the deceased's home.
Oh wow! Thanks for the insight! 😁
They sang this song at George Jones's funeral.
Oh wow! Full circle! 😳
Charlie Daniels is another great story-teller. His song, Uneasy Rider is a fun one to listen to. Nice job interpreting this one. Just don't know if you realized she left him years earlier and he cried all the time until he died. "First time I'd seen him smile in years." He was already dead by then.😥
Shewee! Such a gut punch! Yeah this one was definitely a great tune! Can’t wait to hear more! 🔥
Lainey Wilson is bringing tradition country back.
I think my wife listens to her! Have to ask her about Lainey and check out some of her music! Thanks!
#1 Best country song ever written! And the Possum...no words necessary!!!
You did a great job on this reaction. George Jones was amazing.
Thank you so much, glad you enjoyed!
He once said, in reference to this song, that his 40-year career was rescued by this 3-minute song.
Loved this
Hank William Jr dinosaur is a song that doesn’t get many reactions. Quite possibly my favorite song ever
Funny thing, George Jones was hesitant to record this song because he thought it was too corny and too maudlin. He thought people would hate it, but it became one of his biggest hits. I could listen to George Jones 24/7. So glad you got the twist!
Touching on some golden stuff now, along with jerry lee being my favorite country singer, George's Jones is a very close second. Another great one to check out is "Grand Tour" great vocals
A good spoken word song is by Red Sovine called "Roses For Mama". He did a lot of trucking songs back when CB radio was more popular. If you like this song check out "Teddy Bear" or "Phantom 309".
Really appreciate the suggestions and thanks so much for swinging by the channel! This was such a great tune! 🎶
Based upon my experience, the best country music is all about the story in the lyrics. I'm not much of a George Jones fan, but this is an AMAZING song done in about the most perfect way.
Absolutely!
How about a little Waylon Jennings...Aint living long like this, Ramblin' Man also there's Merle Haggard...Sing me back home, Are the good times really over for good... there's a few great songs from real country. First time listen to you...I enjoyed it very much, good reaction
Thanks for the kind words and the recommendations! Can’t wait to dig into some more country! Love discovering new artists I’m not familiar with. Have a great one!
Ascending strings in this song are well done.
Yessss! 🔥🔥
George had that voice alright. So unique in both sound and delivery. Thanks Possum for a treasure trove of great music.
BTW y’all oughta take a listen to Merle Haggard if you haven’t yet. If you enjoy George’s music I bet my bottom dollar y’all will enjoy old Merle too!
Sweet, we’ll have to check him out!
You got it! The friend died, so he finally stopped loving the woman. Now you need to listen to Randy Travis’ beautiful “ Three Wooden Crosses” and see if you can get it. Most people think too hard and over-analyze, but I think you’ll catch on. The lyrics and paying attention are everything in a Country song.
Window up Above is a good one also
Thanks for the suggestion!
George was super popular in the 60s and 70s. His solo career and his duets with is wife/ex-wife Tammy Wynette were epic! Unfortunately he had a drinking problem and he was pretty much washed up until he was talked into recording this song....he hated it. But it revived his career. During his drinking years he earned the nickname "No Show Jones" because of being late, not showing up at all or having to cut shows short. Regardless of his struggles, he is a legend and deserves the accolades that older and newer generations are giving him.
Wow! Thanks for the background info! I absolutely loved this song and he does have such a unique voice! Can’t wait to hear more of what he has out there!
@setonhillstudios I grew up during the 60s and 70s to country music loving patents. My sister and I leaned more toward rock/pop. We also had older cousins that introduced us to rock/soul, but we loved all of them, George Jones, the Doors and Marvin Gaye!
Try my all time favorite country song “Don’t It Make You Wanna Go Home” by Joe South…incredible song!!!
Thanks for the suggestion!
Hank Williams will always be the King Of Country Music. Wrote almost every song he ever recorded.
Gotta dig into his stuff! Thanks for swinging by and hanging out!
@@setonhillstudios That would be Hank, Sr.
As to the king, each generation has its own. "Le roi est mort, vive le roi." or "The king is dead, long live the king."
Randy Travis - Three Crosses.
Brooks and Dunn - I Believe.
Chris Stapleton - Tennessee Whisky
Thanks so much for the suggestions and swinging by the channel!
If you want a story, Whiskey Lullaby is a must.😢😢😢
I’ll have to check it out!
@@setonhillstudios you'll be so glad you did! Ask your wife. Brad Paisley and the incomparable Allison Krauss. Be sure to watch the video. It's an award winning mini movie.
Brooks & Dunn: Believe
On your observation about traditional country vs contemporary country, check out "Murder On Music Row" by George Strait and Alan Jackson.
Awesome! Really appreciate the suggestion and thanks for hanging out!
Hey man, I'm late catching this reaction from you. This is a really great song by Mr. Jones, one of his biggest hits in a stellar Country music career. A song that he didn't even want to record, he had to be talked into doing it, he said that he didn't even know how to sing the song and had to basically be coached daily, by his producer, as how to perform it in the studio , as you can see, it all worked out well as this is often described as Country's greatest song ever. You should delve a bit more into classic Country music from the 1960s to the 1980s, there's some really great music from those years.
Listen to his "Grand Tour".
You got it, great reaction to George Jones, there is another country artist who still play's the classic country music from back in the day, type in Dale Watson On Austin City Limits "I Lie When I Drink", Thank You.
Oh cool! I’ll have to look into him! Appreciate it! 😀
Want a country song by George Jones??? try White Lightning
With your vocal twang you owe it to the good country like this to like it .If you like plot twists like that try Randy Travis 3wooden crosses Can you do your playlist by music style so its easier to see what you've done?
We may do that in the future but right now we have them divided out more by types as you can tell. There is a search bar that you can utilize on the homepage to type in the name of a particular artist. If we have covered them, they will pop up. Thanks for the suggestions and hanging out! Have a great one!
Written by Bobby Braddock. This song kept George Jones from losing his career. It resurged his career.
That’s awesome!
GEORGE ! what a song ! She thinks I still care & A girl I used to know , The Corvette Song are a couple more Jones classics
Soooo glad you understood... Most reactors do not, because they don't listen...If you miss a line or just a few words in country music, You will change the meaning of a song.. Ready for a new country singer... George Strait - You Look So Good In Love.... ua-cam.com/video/g6-PIFPWqMc/v-deo.html A great starter song for George, King of Country music.. Or the next song he sang in the same concert.... The Chair.....ua-cam.com/video/inE25p3L9bE/v-deo.html Strait has amassed 60 number-one hits. Strait holds the record for most number-one songs on all charts by an artist in any genre of music.
Sweet, thanks for the suggestions!
I think the 'wreath upon his door' is his coffin door. I could be wrong but I always envision that.
Could be!
Back in the day, they would hang a wreath of black flowers on the front door when there was a death in the family. As well as cover the mirrors and other reflective surfaces..
While George Jones is one of the OGs, the King of Country is George Strait with 60 Number 1 Hits.
That’s wild! So many hits! 😳
@@setonhillstudios I just Bought You A Coffee for a request for you to react to George Strait - Amarillo By Morning (Official Video). George married his High School Sweetheart in 1971 and they are still married. His Ace In The Hole band is awesome! Never any drama with George, just awesome music.
loretta lynn is a must.. fist city & you ain't woman enough to take my man.. true story telling.. anything from her is amazing..
Appreciate it! Definitely have to check out some of her stuff! Have a great day!
Love the fact that you do alot of the midnight special
Thanks! The Midnight Special is like striking gold! They have so many awesome concerts on there that are just raw and authentic!
He didn't want to record this song. Said it was too sad. It is. But it did well on the charts.
Listen to Brooks and Dunn “Believe “. It’s a tear jerker
Real original Country music is: The Carter Family, & Jimmie Rodgers. The biggest hit in country music for decades was Roy Acuff’s “Wabash Cannonball” 1940 Absolutely ICONIC!
Never heard of those artists but will dig into it! Love finding new music and there is so much out there to explore! Thanks for the info and swinging by the channel!
If yo9u like the story telling aspect of Country, you should check out Loretta Lynn's "Coal Miner's Daughter".
I'm not a big country fan (I kind of am now but wasn't when I was younger) but pre-80s country is a lot different from post-80s country. I'm a 70s kid and grew up in an R&B environment but was exposed to some country on the radio or on TV occasionally. From my ears, pre-80s country seems to have more "soul" in it. This song has a lot of soul in it and I remember country singers like Willie Nelson, Glen Campbell, Donna Fargo, Johnny Cash, Ray Charles, Merle Haggard, and a lot of others whose music had a lot of soul. I've become kind of a fan of old-school country as I got older because of the soul in it. Country does have gospel and blues roots as part of its base but post-80s it kind of lost some of that for the most part though there were exceptions. There are some current artists who seem to be influenced by the old school country vibe like Chris Stapleton, whose music I really like, and their stratospheric popularity shows how that sound can still hit deep with younger people today.
Could you react to Red Sovine - Teddy Bear? It's another touching country song. I think you'll love it.
I’ll have to look into it! Thanks for the recommendation! 😃
Troubadour by George Strait
Thanks for the suggestion!
you are correct I cry every time I listen to it, check out red sovines "teady bear"
The first line tells it all. He loved her 'till he died.
He does have a super fun song "The Corvette Song".
Try A Good Year for the Roses by George Jones. He is the GOAT!
Awesome! Appreciate the recommendation! 😄
George and Tammy ''Two story house''
Thanks for the suggestion! Have a great one!
Try Patty Loveless "You'll Never Leave Harlan Alive"
We actually covered that on the channel! Incredible song. Go to our homepage and you can find it under the playlist ‘Solo Artists.’ Have a great one! 😄
You need some Tom T Hall in your playlist I recommend (Old Dogs and Children) Watermelon wine
Appreciate the recommendation and thanks for swinging by the channel!
