He is the best selling music artist of all time. Including everyone from any and all genres. The best ever!!! More than Michael Jackson, more than the Beatles. More than anyone ever!!! A very big deal!!!
One of my favorites of Garth's. My husband and I lived by the heart of this song. 2 days ago is the 6th year after his death and I do know how much he loved me. We had 48 years together.
@@roseannamanues2111 You are a lucky lady to have had someone to love you like you were his own. My stepdad asked my mom if he could adopt me and my brother. He said if anything happened to her, he didn't want us to have to go back to our father who did not want us.
@@bjspeck4337 I am very lucky that I had him and my first foster dad. My step dad got with my mom when I was 14 and still in foster care. He did everything that the DCS wanted him to. I was returned back two months from 18th birthday. The youngest of my siblings. Found out later that we shouldn't have been gone so long. So glad that you and your mom found a wonderful man who wanted you and your brother. It's cause of our step dad that my eldest brother is now being a dad to his son and the eldest brother. He doesn't treat him any different than he has ever treated my eldest daughter whose 17 now. My brother didn't want to ever have children cause of the abuse our father did. He was worried about being like him. Him and I talked about it when he found out that his girlfriend was pregnant. I asked him what would our step dad say to him. He responded that he has been there for my eldest. He listed more positive points. I said their you go. It's everything he would say and much more.
He still is a big deal. This and "The Dance" get me every time. I still listen to "The River" quite a bit. Garth sold out a 74,500 seat Arrowhead Stadium here in KC in an hour in the summer of 2021.
I had a little laugh when you stated "An Older Man" sings it. In 1989 when this is from Garth were 27 years old. Ronan Keating were 25 when he sang it in 2002. By the way, Ronan Keating has made collabortion with the Bee Gees. He sang a song they wrote for him called "Lovers and Friends". It was recorded in 1999 but first released on an album in 2005. It was on the Bee Gees 2005 album called "Love Songs" and only on the UK/Japan version.
This song is one of his best. Along with The Dance, We Shall Be Free, and Standing Outside The Fire (you really have to see the official video to that one)
@@johnpaulbacon8320I LOVE “The night I called the old man out” some of his best work never hit the radio! I also loved “When there’s no one else around”, “How you ever gonna know” and “Do what you gotta do”
In terms of sales, Garth Brooks is the biggest Country Music star to ever sing a song. I believe his sales exceed 1 billion. So yes, he was a really big deal.
My brother taped thos song for me. He didn't want me to forget how much he loved me. I could never forget. I miss him every day. When I hear the line, is the love I gave her in the past be enough to last, I always whisper, no
I love it when my kids come and say "Have you heard this cool new song" and I can go "Yep, Years ago", then pull out the original, It happened with this song, The body guard, Dragon force, through fire and flames the start of which is Garth Brookes, Thunder rolls. they don't ask any more.
This was released in 1989 as the second single from his self titled album Garth Brooks. It was Number 1 on the Billboard Country Music charts and has become his signature song. It a song about Father thinking about his daughter and if he died would she know how much he loved her. Absolutely beautiful. The beautiful soft guitar solo leading up to the orchestral accompaniment in this song, just soul grabbing. Great reaction Harri. Thanks Harri and Blue Eyed Kansan. Beautiful. 🎶🎁☃️🎄😊 Cheers from Canada 🇨🇦
Garth literally changed country and made it cool. Before him it was literally all about drinking and break ups. He gave it a rock n. Roll feel. Standing outside the fire is my favorite song from him.
I saw Garth Brooks at one of his first appearances at the Grand Ole Opry in the early nineties. At the time, I had no idea who he was, but when they announced his name, dozens of young women rushed the stage. Then he started in on the first few notes of "Friends in Low Places" and I thought...OH...THAT guy! Yeah, Garth is HUGE in the states.
What a relief you found a video that actually is Garth! He’s hard to do reactions to, because so many videos are covers. This is one artist you need to react to a live performance! “Ain’t Going Down Til the Sun Comes Up” live is 🔥🔥🔥
Don't forget, the man won so many country music artist of the year that he told the academy don't ever put me in again. And this is after he refused the award many years ago because he felt too many others deserve the honor and not him
Garth was only 27 when he co wrote and recorded this song in 1989 which was his first number one hit, followed by The Dance..which became his second number one hit. You need to see one of his earlier live performances.
I was at Death Valley for the Garth Brooks show this past April. That was when we had the Garthquake during 'Callin' Baton Rouge'. His concerts at 60 years old are just as energized as they were when he was 30.
Great song, great singer, great reaction and suggestion! I got to meet Garth a few times when he was touring and was able to spend some time with him in a close setting with a few others, wont say where or why, but he was always very nice, gracious, happy and humble in person, he was just one of us down to earth people in those encounters - even with all his fame, it was nice to spend time with him, and we have always loved his music.
I've been privilaged to see this man live 3 times in Ireland. He gets me everytime. The 1st was in 1994 in the then Point theatre. It was truly incredible. He is bigger in Ireland than the US. A few years ago he sold out Croke Park for 6 nights 90k per night. Ireland has a population of 5m. That is approx 10% of the population. It was controversially cancelled due to objections. But we still love him. I've actually recorded this myself. Of the over 50 concerts I've been to, Brooks, hands down, is the best performer and value for money you'll get. Michael Jackson is a close 2nd.
I’ve loved Garth Brooks since he first became known. He’s one of the all time greats. I saw his show at the Alamodome in San Antonio, Texas in 1997 and it was the best show I’ve ever been to. And he had Billy Joel as a guest for part of the show.
Garth Brooks is one of the most famous country stars of all time. He always sold out concerts in huge areans within minutes. Great performer, great songs.
I've never been a big country fan, but I Love ❤️ Garth's Voice and his beautiful Country Ballard's. I don't know about the stats on who's ahead for record sales in America but Acording to the Guinness Book of World Records Elvis is (To This Day) the Top Selling Solo Artist of All Time World 🌎 Wide with 1.6 BILLION Records Sold.
Thanks for your ver heartfelt and emotional reaction. Another reason why Garth Brooks was as popular as he got was his ability to do songs with vairous meaning and sounds - so that his songs dodn't become sterile copies of each other.
What a beautiful track... this is the first Garth Brooks song that I've listened to. I've heard of him many times and I never listened to any song of his, but my girl loves his music. Now that I hear this I know why!
Many years ago I was diagnosed with breast cancer and I had to have surgery and undergo Chemotherapy and radiation therapy. Fortunately, all those treatments were successful and I have been cancer free for about nine years and as far as I know I am totally healthy now. I was talking to my brother who I don't see very often because he lives in another state and when we started to hang up he told me he loved me. I called my niece, his daughter, and asked her if her dad thought my cancer had come back and maybe I was dying. She said he did not think that as far as she knew and I told her the reason I asked was that he had told me he loved me, FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER!, and I thought maybe he thought I was dying. I should say that his actions have always said he loved me but he had never actually said the words. I had to laugh when I heard this song just now because it reminded me of when my brother made sure I knew he loved me. It was nice hearing the words but honestly it means more to me that his actions have always told me how he feels about me.
I have been listening to Garth since I was like 4. My dad played Garth constantly when he was at home(on cassette tape, then CD.) He had so many amazing songs. Every album had a ton of great songs...even the ones that didn't go to radio. I would recommend one that kinda flew under the radar, "The Night I Called the Old Man Out." It's way more upbeat and definitely tells a story that a lot of us have lived.
If you ever get to attend a Garth show.. go. It’s like being with hundreds of best friends, even if you don’t know any of them. Even better, you get to sing with all of them, and with the best artist on earth. It’s a win win…and every one is a memorable one. He is humble, talented, easy on the eyes, and knowns what’s important in this life.
I'm from Garth's hometown in Oklahoma, never met the guy. Well if I did, he wasn't famous yet and I didn't know who it was. My mother remembered him, when he was a kid he changed her flat tire once. Good kid.
He's back bigger & better. He came back in 2014 touring. He sells out stadiums in `10 minutes. Garth wasn't old when he sang this. Late 20's maybe 30. LOL He has 7 CMA Entertainer of the Yr. awards. He pulled himself out of the running. He just sold out a Las Vegas Casino show for 2023... they had to add another yr. A lot of his music isn't on youtube. His wife has a lot on here. She is fabulous. Trisha Yearwood.
So glad I took his advice and let those I love the most how I feel. Please do a reaction to The Dance if you haven't already. It is gold. The official video is so touching. Garth Brooks was the gateway artist to me loving country music. A real legend
Saw Garth Brooks in Edmonton, Alberta 🇨🇦 recently… the man can sing and is full of energy, an almost 3 hour show where his wife also came out and sang. Trish Yearwood.
To understand how BIG Garth Brooks is, he's the only artist in music history that has 9 albums go diamond (that's 10 million sales each). He's the best selling solo artist as far as albums go in the US in the 20th century, and he's sold over 170 million records
Catching up on your vids. Thanks for the insight. You've given me new ways to just listen. My favorite Garth Brooks song is his cover of Dylan's "To Make You Feel My Love".
He is still touring! I saw him for the first time live last summer. AMAZING show! You can feel that he absolutely loves what he is doing. Try out "The River" and "The Dance"!!!!
When Garth hit the scene with this we were blown away by this new artist. He and Alan Jackson with HERE IN THE REAL WORLD we’re new and I told everyone they were going to be big. Some people just thought I was crazy yet here we are and both have been huge!
My brother was NOT a country fan, but he introduced me to 2 singers he liked. The first was Dwight Yokum, the second was Garth Brooks. They're the only US country singers I will still listen to.
+Elizabeth Scott - You are missing out on so much then. Just think what you would be missing if you had not looked into Dwight and Garth. I would suggest Gary Allan, Clint Black, Kenny Chesney, Joe Diffie, Vince Gill, Alan Jackson, Toby Keith, Tim McGraw, John Michael Montgomery, Brad Paisley, Billy Ray Cyrus (he has more than that one song), Collin Raye, Chris Stapleton, Travis Tritt, Keith Urban, Clay Walker, Steve Wariner and Mark Wills. Suzy Bogguss, Deana Carter, Mary Chapin Carpenter, Terri Clark, Sara Evans, Faith Hill, Alison Krauss, Patty Loveless, Martina McBride, Mindy McCready, Jo Dee Messina, LeAnn Rimes, Pam Tillis, Shania Twain, Lee Ann Womack, Chely Wright, Wynonna and Trisha Yearwood. Alabama, Blackhawk, Brooks & Dunn, Diamond Rio, Dixie Chicks (just called The Chicks now), Lonestar, Montgomery Gentry and The Mavericks.
Garth Brooks was working as a singer on demos for record companies when a song called Shameless by Billy Joel came thru. Garth sang on the demo and the record company decided that instead of using his demo to convince other artists to record it, the record company released it as a single, as recorded by him, and it was a huge hit, and Billy Joel says Garth did it better than he did
Sometimes songs are meant for that right person - Garth was that right person for Shameless. Fancy was more suited to Reba then Bobbie Gentry ( Original singer ) - Bobbies version sounds more like a "Blues" tune but the song just doesn't go well with Bobbies voice.
My husband had a liver transplant just this past August. I came sooooo in Rey lose to loosing him. When he woke fully up & was able to get his breathing tube taken out he grabbed his phone from me and asked me to climb up into the bed with him and lay there with him and he played this song and told me that no matter what time we have left, he will always make sure I know so if there does come a tomorrow he can’t tell me anymore, he did at least everyday he was given extra.
Get real… he is most definitely not the GOAT of country. He is the reason we have to listen to the crap we do today. There are way more country stars that are better! He was born with the gift of gab and a showman but his crap aint third rung material in my book. I wouldn’t walk across the street to see him. That’s just me, he has lots and lots of fans but he has lots and lots of folks like me that could care less about him. Saying he is better than George Jones, George Strait, Alan JacksonHank Williams, Hank Williams Jr., Willie, Merle Haggard, Dwight Yoakam and many many more is ridiculous 🤣🤣 Yeah he put Trisha Yearwood 1st above his daughters mom. He is a good man alright! 🙄🤣
I saw Garth , Clint Black and Selena at the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo. But Hank Williams Jr sat in a chair with his guitar and is STILL in my top 5 all time favorite live performances!
He's saying it right there in the song. He lays there watching them in the dark, telling them tomorrow will never come. We can't ask the real question here thanks to, well you all know what I'm talking about. Please take care, everyone
I had this album. When I got my car it dident have a radio. So I had a boom box a this Garth Brooks album. I listened all the way to work and back. I had a rider ,I would pick up. She learned to like country.
Garth is one of the few artisit to break the genre barrier. I don't like country but the two I will listen to is Garth Brooks and Homefree. Great review, blessings
I live in Louisiana..home of our flagship college Louisiana State University Fighting Tigers football team. The campus and stadium is in Baton Rouge Louisiana. It holds over 100,000 fans when sold out. Garth has a song called Callin Baton Rouge. If you ever heard 100,000 hyped up football fans singing callin Baton Rouge on a Saturday night at home you’d know just how big he really is!
Garth Brooks - Country Western music plays the heart strings.
He is the best selling music artist of all time. Including everyone from any and all genres. The best ever!!! More than Michael Jackson, more than the Beatles. More than anyone ever!!! A very big deal!!!
One of my favorites of Garth's. My husband and I lived by the heart of this song. 2 days ago is the 6th year after his death and I do know how much he loved me. We had 48 years together.
@Aniwayas Song Thank God for the memories. They are so precious. Thank you for letting me know that I'm not the only one.
This and The Dance are such beautiful songs
When I hear songs like this I think about my step dad who passed away. He was a great man who was a good dad.
@@roseannamanues2111 You are a lucky lady to have had someone to love you like you were his own. My stepdad asked my mom if he could adopt me and my brother. He said if anything happened to her, he didn't want us to have to go back to our father who did not want us.

Garth has been the best world wide concert performer for over 20 years.
Back in the 90s when Garth released a new song everyone knew it would be #1 and would be worn out by the radio station.
@@Mataylor17 same here Now Garth and his act is different story
Except few were ever worn out.
Unanswered prayers is amazing
Garth is a very classy down to earth superstar. .nothing more needs to be aaid
The most meaningful lyrics ever written... "Tell that someone that you love, just what you're thinking of, if tomorrow never comes".
For such a small state Oklahoma has produced several major country stars it must be something in the water
He still is a big deal. This and "The Dance" get me every time. I still listen to "The River" quite a bit. Garth sold out a 74,500 seat Arrowhead Stadium here in KC in an hour in the summer of 2021.
The River is my Chapter Three mood music. I'd never have finished without Garth.
I had a little laugh when you stated "An Older Man" sings it. In 1989 when this is from Garth were 27 years old. Ronan Keating were 25 when he sang it in 2002.
By the way, Ronan Keating has made collabortion with the Bee Gees. He sang a song they wrote for him called "Lovers and Friends".

This song is one of his best. Along with The Dance, We Shall Be Free, and Standing Outside The Fire (you really have to see the official video to that one)
Yes! Standing Outside the Fire video!!!!
I am in complete agreement. G man is awesome.
The River , The Night I Called The Old Man Out , Friends In Low Places are other good songs in addition to the ones you listed above.
Unanswered Prayers is still my favorite
@@johnpaulbacon8320I LOVE “The night I called the old man out” some of his best work never hit the radio!
I also loved “When there’s no one else around”, “How you ever gonna know” and “Do what you gotta do”
When he played at the LSU stadium it registered as an earthquake. He’s definitely loved in Baton Rouge Louisiana
Garth's catalog runs deep. Take a deep dive into this guy. Standing outside the fire. The Dance. Just to get started
In terms of sales, Garth Brooks is the biggest Country Music star to ever sing a song. I believe his sales exceed 1 billion. So yes, he was a really big deal.
His concerts were so big, he gave it all .he even would fly .
Garth Brooks is an icon! He is one of the best country singers around. Love your reaction!
Garth deserves his sells, this is an amazing song
My brother taped thos song for me. He didn't want me to forget how much he loved me. I could never forget. I miss him every day. When I hear the line, is the love I gave her in the past be enough to last, I always whisper, no
I love it when my kids come and say "Have you heard this cool new song" and I can go "Yep, Years ago", then pull out the original, It happened with this song, The body guard, Dragon force, through fire and flames the start of which is Garth Brookes, Thunder rolls. they don't ask any more.
This was released in 1989 as the second single from his self titled album Garth Brooks. It was Number 1 on the Billboard
Country Music charts and has become his signature song. It a song about Father thinking about his daughter and if he died would she know how much he loved
her. Absolutely beautiful.
The beautiful soft guitar solo leading up to the orchestral accompaniment in this song, just soul grabbing.
Great reaction Harri. Thanks Harri and Blue Eyed Kansan. Beautiful. 🎶🎁☃️🎄😊 Cheers from Canada 🇨🇦
So many assume he's singing about a wife...I'm still correcting people!
Garth literally changed country and made it cool. Before him it was literally all about drinking and break ups. He gave it a rock n. Roll feel. Standing outside the fire is my favorite song from him.

Don't forget, the man won so many country music artist of the year that he told the academy don't ever put me in again. And this is after he refused the award many years ago because he felt too many others deserve the honor and not him
his songs really make me think
Think and feel together. 🎵
He’s massive in Ireland. Just sold out5 nights @Croke Park (80000 capacity) over the summer. Epic shows!
Wow that's great to hear.

By far Garth is one of the most known in Country, and this song is so under appreciated
Great song, great singer, great reaction and suggestion!

I still appreciate how he brought us Martina McBride. She's one of my favorite artists.
I didn't get to meet him, but I did get to see him in concert. Some great songs came through him.
Beautiful song, Garth is a great singer and has had many hits. Love his voice. Great reaction Harri
The dance is awesome too
You’ll be happy to know Garth is going back to Vegas in 2023. Great song. This is my song to my wife who is fighting dementia. I hope she knows…
Saw Garth in 1997 in Halifax, Nova Scotia. Best concert I have ever seen.

remember the Newyork park where he had thousands show up in the outdoor concert
One of the things that I have thanked him the most for is Martina McBride.
@@roseannamanues2111 Martina Mcbride is my fav female singer her voice is so powerful only Reba had a more powerful voice
@@Royelsworth Completely agree with you
He's top 3 all time in my opinion
I love watching how this song touches you.. Your eyes gave it away.
I've never been a big country fan, but I Love ❤️ Garth's Voice and his beautiful Country Ballard's.
I don't know about the stats on who's ahead for record sales in America but Acording to the Guinness Book of World Records Elvis is (To This Day) the Top Selling Solo Artist of All Time World 🌎 Wide with 1.6 BILLION Records Sold.
One of the most commercially successful artists of all time, married to another Country great, Trisha Yearwood.
One of my favorite Garth Brooks songs. I love Garth's music. Great reaction and great song choice.
The River is my absolute favorite song from him 😃 talk about needing a heart of stone.
Thanks for your ver heartfelt and emotional reaction. Another reason why Garth Brooks was as popular as he got was his ability to do songs with vairous meaning and sounds - so that his songs dodn't become sterile copies of each other.
Hi Harri, great choice! Garth had alot of great hits in the 90's, good rabbit hole to go down.
What a beautiful track... this is the first Garth Brooks song that I've listened to. I've heard of him many times and I never listened to any song of his, but my girl loves his music. Now that I hear this I know why!
Absolutely beautiful lyrics, thanks HARRI
The first time I heard this song I swore I'd tell my wife every day how much I love her --- and I have.
Many years ago I was diagnosed with breast cancer and I had to have surgery and undergo Chemotherapy and radiation therapy. Fortunately, all those treatments were successful and I have been cancer free for about nine years and as far as I know I am totally healthy now. I was talking to my brother who I don't see very often because he lives in another state and when we started to hang up he told me he loved me. I called my niece, his daughter, and asked her if her dad thought my cancer had come back and maybe I was dying. She said he did not think that as far as she knew and I told her the reason I asked was that he had told me he loved me, FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER!, and I thought maybe he thought I was dying.

It was nice hearing the words but honestly it means more to me that his actions have always told me how he feels about me.
I live with my mother and when we head of to bed each night we always say "I love you" to one another. This song hits me every time I hear it.
Oh my gosh YES!!!! Garth Brooks!!!!❤❤❤
Most successful country artists of all time and brought Country music into the mainstream with packed stadium concerts.
Garth Brooks is definitely a legend, got to see him in concert, and I’ve been to many, but he was definitely the best
Hari..glad you like it..Yes Garth is a Big Deal in USA..great singer
I have always loved Garth
I have been listening to Garth since I was like 4. My dad played Garth constantly when he was at home(on cassette tape, then CD.) He had so many amazing songs. Every album had a ton of great songs...even the ones that didn't go to radio. I would recommend one that kinda flew under the radar, "The Night I Called the Old Man Out."

I'm from Garth's hometown in Oklahoma, never met the guy. Well if I did, he wasn't famous yet and I didn't know who it was. My mother remembered him, when he was a kid he changed her flat tire once. Good kid.
Kids are grown and thank goodness he is back performing regularly.
He's back bigger & better. He came back in 2014 touring. He sells out stadiums in `10 minutes. Garth wasn't old when he sang this. Late 20's maybe 30. LOL He has 7 CMA Entertainer of the Yr. awards. He pulled himself out of the running. He just sold out a Las Vegas Casino show for 2023... they had to add another yr. A lot of his music isn't on youtube. His wife has a lot on here. She is fabulous. Trisha Yearwood.
one of my favorite Garth songs. Great choice!
I saw him in concert.....fantastic.
Biggest rockers love his covers.
So glad I took his advice and let those I love the most how I feel.
Please do a reaction to The Dance if you haven't already. It is gold. The official video is so touching. Garth Brooks was the gateway artist to me loving country music. A real legend

To understand how BIG Garth Brooks is, he's the only artist in music history that has 9 albums go diamond (that's 10 million sales each). He's the best selling solo artist as far as albums go in the US in the 20th century, and he's sold over 170 million records
He single-handedly changed the face of country fans and made country music popular again

He is still touring! I saw him for the first time live last summer. AMAZING show! You can feel that he absolutely loves what he is doing.
Try out "The River" and "The Dance"!!!!
Almost every country singer today owes their career to Garth Brooks, hes the godfather of country rock.
When Garth hit the scene with this we were blown away by this new artist. He and Alan Jackson with HERE IN THE REAL WORLD we’re new and I told everyone they were going to be big. Some people just thought I was crazy yet here we are and both have been huge!
My brother was NOT a country fan, but he introduced me to 2 singers he liked. The first was Dwight Yokum, the second was Garth Brooks. They're the only US country singers I will still listen to.
You might want to check out an old timer like Emmy Lou Harris or Pure Prairie League!
Oh no.
I’ll bet you’d fall in love with Randy Travis. Try “forever and ever amen” and “I told you so”. Let us know what you think.
+Elizabeth Scott - You are missing out on so much then. Just think what you would be missing if you had not looked into Dwight and Garth.
I would suggest Gary Allan, Clint Black, Kenny Chesney, Joe Diffie, Vince Gill, Alan Jackson, Toby Keith, Tim McGraw, John Michael Montgomery, Brad Paisley, Billy Ray Cyrus (he has more than that one song), Collin Raye, Chris Stapleton, Travis Tritt, Keith Urban, Clay Walker, Steve Wariner and Mark Wills.
Suzy Bogguss, Deana Carter, Mary Chapin Carpenter, Terri Clark, Sara Evans, Faith Hill, Alison Krauss, Patty Loveless, Martina McBride, Mindy McCready, Jo Dee Messina, LeAnn Rimes, Pam Tillis, Shania Twain, Lee Ann Womack, Chely Wright, Wynonna and Trisha Yearwood.
Alabama, Blackhawk, Brooks & Dunn, Diamond Rio, Dixie Chicks (just called The Chicks now), Lonestar, Montgomery Gentry and The Mavericks.
For another side of Garth, check out Friends in Low Places - tons of fun.
This is why they call Garth the King of country. But he wasn't all that old when he recorded this song around 35 years ago. 😁
He's HUGE in his homeland. Problem is country music is not very popular anywhere else in the world apart from a few small pockets here and there.
Someone above said he sold out 5 nights in Ireland this past summer
One of the biggest artists of all time, of any genre. Thanks!
I have not heard this in years. It's one of my favorite Garth songs. I have to admit it hits even more powerfully with current times.
Thanks for your continuous love and support Mimi❤❤
For how long have you been a fan of mine Mimi??
Sold out five shows in Dublin Ireland this year. He could have doubled that easily. We're huge Garth Brooks fans here. That's 400,000 tickets sold.
Garth Brooks was working as a singer on demos for record companies when a song called Shameless by Billy Joel came thru. Garth sang on the demo and the record company decided that instead of using his demo to convince other artists to record it, the record company released it as a single, as recorded by him, and it was a huge hit, and Billy Joel says Garth did it better than he did
I’m a huge Billy Joel fan and usually hate covers of his music, but I agreed on this one! Loved Garth’s version ❤
Sometimes songs are meant for that right person - Garth was that right person for Shameless. Fancy was more suited to Reba then Bobbie Gentry ( Original singer ) - Bobbies version sounds more like a "Blues" tune but the song just doesn't go well with Bobbies voice.
Shameless is my husband and I’d song ❤️
Shameless is on Garths third album Ropin The Wind. He didn't do a demo for it.
@@mattybond so he lied? He did a demo for it years before he recorded it himself
That was a true heart felt reaction. Glad you listened to it, Garth has many more songs ballads, fast songs. Hard to find a bad one. Thanks 👍
Eva Cassidy "Autumn Leaves" breaks my heart every time.
My husband had a liver transplant just this past August. I came sooooo in Rey lose to loosing him. When he woke fully up & was able to get his breathing tube taken out he grabbed his phone from me and asked me to climb up into the bed with him and lay there with him and he played this song and told me that no matter what time we have left, he will always make sure I know so if there does come a tomorrow he can’t tell me anymore, he did at least everyday he was given extra.
It makes me think of my Dad who passed about a decade now... Always let your loved ones know how much they mean, cause tomorrow may never come!
He’s the country music GOAT. Saw him 27 times in concert. What a live performance he does.
Get real… he is most definitely not the GOAT of country. He is the reason we have to listen to the crap we do today. There are way more country stars that are better! He was born with the gift of gab and a showman but his crap aint third rung material in my book. I wouldn’t walk across the street to see him. That’s just me, he has lots and lots of fans but he has lots and lots of folks like me that could care less about him. Saying he is better than George Jones, George Strait, Alan JacksonHank Williams, Hank Williams Jr., Willie, Merle Haggard, Dwight Yoakam and many many more is ridiculous 🤣🤣
Yeah he put Trisha Yearwood 1st above his daughters mom. He is a good man alright! 🙄🤣
I think George Strait would have something to say about that.
I saw Garth , Clint Black and Selena at the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo.
But Hank Williams Jr sat in a chair with his guitar and is STILL in my top 5 all time favorite live performances!
He's saying it right there in the song. He lays there watching them in the dark, telling them tomorrow will never come. We can't ask the real question here thanks to, well you all know what I'm talking about. Please take care, everyone
Yes. He is coming back to Vegas for "23-24 season. Garth Brooks is the Goat!
Great reaction! Thanks for keeping great music alive!
I am not much into country, but Garth Brooks is a major talent.
‘The Dance’ is my favorite Garth Brooks song. Love to see u react to that one.
I had this album. When I got my car it dident have a radio. So I had a boom box a this Garth Brooks album. I listened all the way to work and back.
I had a rider ,I would pick up. She learned to like country.
Garth is one of the few artisit to break the genre barrier. I don't like country but the two I will listen to is Garth Brooks and Homefree. Great review, blessings
The dance and unanswered prayers
I have my regrets also, and it hurts. So like him I make it a point to say I love you every day.😪😭😢💯
I knew the song ❤ Thank you Harri for a great reaction and for reminding me how I knew the song 😇❤️
I do like the Ronan Keton vision 😊🤔😀
My personal favorite by Garth is "The Dance"
I live in Louisiana..home of our flagship college Louisiana State University Fighting Tigers football team. The campus and stadium is in Baton Rouge Louisiana. It holds over 100,000 fans when sold out. Garth has a song called Callin Baton Rouge. If you ever heard 100,000 hyped up football fans singing callin Baton Rouge on a Saturday night at home you’d know just how big he really is!
Garth was 26 when he recorded this song and Co wrote it. I love this song but I still think my favorite Garth Brooks song is (The Dance)
