As someone in those final years,I find this song gives me more peace than sadness. The belief this old man had was in the words of Jesus in the Bible…the “words written in red” and the comfort in knowing he would see his loved ones again. I am SO counting on that as loving them in my memories is not enough anymore.💔. Taylor,hon,I had a heart connection with you the very first time I saw your eyes fill with tears while listening to a song,because I have always been the same way. And Stephen,you don’t fool anyone,my friend…I’ve seen that “glistening” in your eyes more than once,and,to this old lady;it takes a strong man to show a tender heart! I loved your reactions to this beautiful song!❤️❤️
If you want this. It is open to you too. Pray this prayer from your heart. Dear God, I know that I am a Sinner. I believe that Jesus Christ, your Son, died on the cross for my sin and rose from the dead to be my Lord. God, I now repent of my sin and personally invite Jesus into my life. Thank you, Jesus for giving me the free gift of eternal life. I promise to live for You as You reveal Yourself to me through your Word, the Bible. In Jesus name, I pray, Amen
No racism. No division. No hate. Besides it being a true story, it reminds us to never underestimate the power of prayer and hope. He went to be with his wife and baby 😇 So powerful! ❤️
This is not a "sad" song. It is a song of peace and promise. Those words written in red are the words of Jesus. If you believe in Him, you WILL see those you love (who also believe) again, in Heaven.
True story of Ronnie Dunns life and this wonderful old gentleman led him to God and salvation. So it’s a great song. Sad as he missed the old man but happy in that he now knows he will see him again in eternity. This song is fantastic in message and vocals and music too!❤
Craig Wiseman may disagree on that since he is the writer who came up with the story. He drove to Dunn's house at midnight one night and asked him to help finish it. (That is Wiseman's response in an interview from several years ago).
You’re never a former marine. Once the marine always the marine. So my friends that served in the core tell me and I lived down at Jacksonville North Carolina for seven years. I’ve seen Marines retired Marines once submarine always ring Semper Fi brother.
Mamma used to send him over with things. He believed and trusted her judgement. He became friends with the old man. He believed, over time, what they shared. The old man passed on his faith in there being something more. It wasn't til the old man died that he had to wrestle with these things himself. The life, the shared experiences all of it together was ALL Belief. I am an older person and I took great comfort in this song. I have buried more friends and family, and I too BELIEVE that it doesn't end in a slow ride in a hearse. It gives me peace.
I died 30ty years ago & I know that heaven is real & I meet a family member & I was told that I couldn't stay in heaven that my work on earth wasn't done & people use to call me crazy because I talked-about how I died & went to heaven & yes I'm crazy about King God, Jesus Christ & God's heavenly 😇 angels hallelujah 🙌 amen 😊❤
I've heard this song many many times. 48 years old and I cry every single time I hear this song. So very powerful, makes me think of those I've lost. Great reaction!
RIGHT!!?? This song, and Randy Travis song, (He walked on water) tears me up, cus it reminds me of my grandpa💔💔 he pretty much raised me!❤❤❤ RIP Gramps
Same! I found this song when my mother died and I BAWLED with this on repeat 💯 So happy she was in the arms of Jesus but my broken heart missed her and was grieving hard at the time. GEEZ 🙏🏼❤️
Craig Morgan "Father, my son and the Holy Ghost" live at Grand Ole Opry. He wrote it about his son that was killed in an accident. It was the first time he sang it for an audience.
It is sad but hopeful and beautiful at the same time. Sad because of the loss the boy felt, but hopeful because the old man held his belief all those years that he would be reunited with his wife and baby when he passed. It is hard not to be sad listening to this song. I've heard it a multitude of times and it has always been one of my favorite songs by Brooks and Dunn and I cry every time I hear it.
Queen, you are special with a beautiful soul and spirit. I have to tell you that you are an Empathic person and that’s a gift. It can be good and it can be bad. Most of all the blessings of being one is awesome♥️. Loved y’all’s reaction. Every time I’ve seen y’all you have cried. Empath people have a lot of special abilities. Bless y’all and thanks for sharing.
I read a couple of days ago that Ronnie Dunne was going to school to be s preacher. He sang at drinking establishments to pay for school. I don't recall what the circumstances were, but he was introduced to Kik Brookes and they clicked professionally and friendship wise.
I absolutely love this song and every time i hear it i cry, with or without this video, Taylor I’m with u but i probably cry more❤️❤️❤️enjoy this video and thank you for not stopping and starting video
Those of us with a few more years on us, who've by now lost more than a few loved ones we held dear, feel this particular verse deeply: "You know I'm more and more convinced the longer that I live... you know this can't be, no this can't be, no this can't be all there is!"
Enjoyed the reaction by you guys. I also shed a couple tears when I first saw this. This is something many of us can relate to. It is a powerful video. I have this song on my playlist and it does not affect me as much without the video.
I have heard a lot of “sad” songs since I was a teen in the 60s. Usually do not make me cry because the singers are not “feeling” the song themselves. Great voices, great music, great sad lyrics, but still fell short. With or without an MV. I have great respect for singers who put themselves into that vulnerable place while they sing and make me cry. My all time favorite group, S. Korean, made me laugh, cry, angry, heartbroken, rock to the beat, and wish I could give them granny hugs. Including during their live performances and me not understanding a single word.
The close connection of a young boy and older guy with an instant bond, is what really pulls at your heartstrings and you never want it to end. So, when it does, your sadness comes because you were emotionally invested in the heart of their friendship. No shame in tears ever guys. Enjoyed your reaction- it was sincere and you were not alone . 🤗💓
J D Souther (who wrote many songs that were recorded by the Eagles, Linda Ronstadt, Jackson Browne etc) once said in an interview, he hated country music when he was younger. Thought to was all nothing but simple, "crying in your beer" corny hillbilly music., But he said once he started actually listening to more of it and studying it and writing more country style music himself, he started to realize just what an art form it actually is and formed a real appreciation for it.
❤to you. Ronnie sings his heart out (passion and grit) brooks- epic guitar! :) The story .. so sweet and beautiful, and resonates with so many of us. It’s heartbreaking and a true story. Bless you… this is a classic.
I had heard the song multiple times, but this was my first time seeing the video. 😢 I agree with so many others, I have faith that one day I’ll see my mom and other family again. Thank you for allowing us to watch this beautiful video with you. ❤️🙏🏻❤️
This is one of my favorite songs! I loved your reactions! I cried right along with you! I haven't cried every time I have heard this, but I have cried quite a few. I feel songs deeply as well! I have been singing in church since I was12 years old. Singing means a lot to me, especially songs like this! I think this is a sad but peaceful song! Many blessings! 😊
It's the voice that brings emotions out. I've heard others sing this song and it's just a song. But Ronnie's voice adds more to this song and there's more but I will leave it at that
My absolute favorite Brooks & Dunn songs! Thank you God for sending your son Jesus to die on the Cross for my sins! I could never do enough to gain my place in Heaven, but now I'm covered by the blood of Christ!
Death doesn't have to be sad. Once you understand we are not our bodies. We are soul that inhabit a human body for the human experience. Souls are pure energy and energy never dies. We live on after the human experience. Lost my mom in 2017. I was sad to some point but I knew she will live on. It helped me so much to not be sad about her death all the time. Live Belive by Brooks and Dunn!
New sub because of your reactions! Don't ever apologize for crying or not crying! Pause as much as you need to, and if people don't like it so be it! They can just move along without being negative! 🤠
Good country is known for its storytelling.Its mantra is 3 chords and the truth.Life spans funny to tragic events so country does too.Laughing and crying during a reaction are both acceptable and a tribute to the artist.Embrace both.

If you want this. It is open to you too. Pray this prayer from your heart.

I agree. It means more at 60 than at 40
@Ctkare4k9 that was a very nice comment you made. Thank you
No racism. No division. No hate. Besides it being a true story, it reminds us to never underestimate the power of prayer and hope. He went to be with his wife and baby 😇 So powerful! ❤️

Amen hallelujah
Amen and Amen!!
Well I'm screwed 🤣
Of course you didn't get it at all, you obviously never lived in country learning life on the farm from older black men and women. Oh well nice try.
Absolutely well said 🙏🏼
True Story in the Life of Ronnie Dunn the Singer. Emotional for him to write and Sing
And a incredible voice nobody could probably ever do it better
I am a 71 year old Marine and was brought to tears by this song and video
Thank you for Your Service, Sir 🙏❤️🤍💙🦅💫
Semper FI brother!
I’m with you brother in arms! Every time I listen to this song, it hits me.
Hey Donald, I'm 80-yo Jarhead and felt the same way. Semper Fi Bro.

Wow! I didn't know that; makes it even more special!
Ronnie used to sing at a church that was not far from where I grew up
Love this song and Ronnie Dunn my favourite country singer
true story for the singer Ronnie Dunn. He's the boy.
Nope, sorry
Ronnie Dunn has denied this a thousand times.
This is the singer's true story. Ronnie Dunn. That just makes it more special.
Nice to think that it is, but it's not.
Yes it is that’s why ronnie wrote the song as it’s based on his childhood memories.
Craig Wiseman may disagree on that since he is the writer who came up with the story. He drove to Dunn's house at midnight one night and asked him to help finish it. (That is Wiseman's response in an interview from several years ago).
@@caseyb4425 Its a true story about Ronnie's childhood. Deal with it.

I'm a grown ass man, and I still cry when I hear this song. Blessings to you both. Aloha
I don’t care how old you are, how big you are, how tough you are…. this is just one of those songs to do that to you. 😢♥️
This is a true story ❤Such a beautiful song and story 🎉
Maybe a true story, but not Dunn's.
Mr. Dunn has the greatest country voice ....this is the last song i played at my wife's funeral she believed so do I.....
Love his rasp and deep true country sounding voice.
🫂
Country music is known for story telling. Whiskey Lullaby is super sad.😢
I am 71 yr old woman and I've listened to this song so many times. I sqawl like a baby every single time. It touches my heart and soul.
It is sad but hopeful and beautiful at the same time. Sad because of the loss the boy felt, but hopeful because the old man held his belief all those years that he would be reunited with his wife and baby when he passed.

You’re absolutely right 💕
His tone is so pure 🎉
The emotion and conviction is his voice is amazing.. This guy can just flat out sing!!great song and video!
It’s really beautiful when they performed it on the CMA Awards with Jelly Roll
I LOVE that song.its on my play list. I listen to it almost every day.
Queen, you are special with a beautiful soul and spirit. I have to tell you that you are an Empathic person and that’s a gift. It can be good and it can be bad. Most of all the blessings of being one is awesome♥️.
Loved y’all’s reaction. Every time I’ve seen y’all you have cried. Empath people have a lot of special abilities. Bless y’all and thanks for sharing.

I read a couple of days ago that Ronnie Dunne was going to school to be s preacher. He sang at drinking establishments to pay for school. I don't recall what the circumstances were, but he was introduced to Kik Brookes and they clicked professionally and friendship wise.
13:23 You feel it, too, my man. You don’t have to cry but I can see that you do feel. 😊❤
"Fire Away" by Chris Stapleton- if this doesn't rip your heart out, you must not have one.
Great reactions !!
Was coming to suggest that.
You guys are adorable. Beautiful story telling song. We need to always remember this.
I absolutely love this song and every time i hear it i cry, with or without this video, Taylor I’m with u but i probably cry more❤️❤️❤️enjoy this video and thank you for not stopping and starting video

Brook and Dunn just took us to church, I love the haunting beautiful sound of the organ.
This is a true song that Ronnie wrote, he loved that old man.
It will get you every time! 😢 72 year old man…and I still cry every time! 🙏✝️❤️🇺🇸
Ronnie put his draws in this song, wow. His voice gets you in the feels.

Gets me every time 😭
Also, Concrete Angel by Martina McBride is f’n brutal.
Noooo I know that one and it always makes me cry!
@@Killermcknight I watch it when I’m drinking sometimes. You know how people do try not to laugh. I do try not to cry. Alcohol wins every time.
Oh that would probably just make me cry harder lol
One of my favorites it makes your heart sad but yet the story of love respect faith all in one
This was a sad song -- but also a song of hope. Crying over a song like this is not a sign of weakness. It's a sign that you have a heart.
This song gets in your soul
Beautiful reaction! I teared up too.
♥️
Nothing like a good story set to music.
I died when my daughter died. My body is here but my heart went home with you.
This is what music should do
They have a lot of great songs
Ronnie Dunn has a great voice!
It's the voice that brings emotions out. I've heard others sing this song and it's just a song. But Ronnie's voice adds more to this song and there's more but I will leave it at that
I definitely think it at the very least makes a huge difference!
I get a tear every time I hear this song
Great music transcends all genres 💯🙏🏼❤️ God is Good ✝️🕊️ BEAUTIFUL song and tribute!
This song Believe I hear it and cry. If you listen to the lyrics in every song it touches you every song has a meaning that touches your heart ❤️
