It's about DIVORCE and how it feels to be alone in a empty house. The greatest country song ever written.
George Jones was not just a country singer . He was country music.
Amen
George Jones had the greatest vocal cords ever blessed on a human being. That’s why other singers speak so highly of him. They know because, no one listens to a singer like another singer.
He was known as the king of country soul
George is great. R.I.P
George is known as heartbroken music,singing from the soul .
I was both widowed snd divorced. To be left and to cause that kind of loss and betrayal with intention iis actually darker and more chilling to the bone . It is just not considered that way by others.
He's The G.O.A.T
Iconic George Jones had a tumultuous marriage to iconic Tammy Wynette. The story behind the song is not about death, it's about his marriage, and when he recorded this song they were separated. Grand Tour tears me up every time, it never fails to get right to my heart and actually melt me down emotionally, and women can relate to this song, of a man's great love. It gives me chills every single time. One of the BEST country ballads of ALL TIME. Please look at how many times Grand Tour recorded in 1974 has been performed, copied and emulated!! Countless! This song will live FOREVER and ever... It was voted #38 of Top 40 Saddest Country Songs of All Time by Rolling Stone. It should be number one, it doesn't get any sadder in my opinion!! George Jones did not write the song, a team of 3 involved in producing his music including George Richey, helped write the song. His marriage to Tammy Wynette ended 4 mos. later. Altogether tragic. Thank you for your review, subscribed and liked. I'm a fan now.
You nailed it
OMG! O NEVER THOUGHT ABOUT DEATH...HIS WIFE AND BABY DIED!!
Double loss during childbirth could be something to chill you to the bone when you hear about it. Glad I watched this reaction today, Tuesday, March 5, 2024. As long as I've loved this song, and to never have looked for a deeper meaning...
An Alternative Take to the meaning of this song:
"It should be noted that some fans of the song believe that “The Grand Tour” doesn’t depict a divorce, but instead a scenario where the wife has died along with their child in some accident. That’s a bit of a gruesome take on it in our opinion, but the important thing is the emotion conveyed by Jones as he brings it all home: As you leave you’ll see the nursery/Oh, she left me without mercy."
I don't really know - for me - it kinda sticks more this take than the Divorce. But if someone ask me to tell the about the meaning behind the song I'd probably say both takes. Anyways both takes have their own powerful meanings especially when George Jones sang those lyrics~
I recall Aaron Neville did a cover of this once
George Jones was Amazing
The woman who introduced him was his wife at the time, Tammy Wynette.
The intro was by Tammy Wynette, she and George were married at the time.
In my book the two greatest all time Countrysingers are Merle Haggard and George Jones.
Been others that can be included, but they were the GOATS.
Same!!! I have only 3 posters on my wall: 1. George Jones 2. Merl Haggard and 3. Michael Jackson.
The song was made famous by George, but he didn’t write the song. There were three songwriters involved, including George Richey, who ironically was married to Tammy Wynette at the time of her death. BTW, Aaron Neville covered the song also.
That was not the point of my comment. I don’t disagree but it’s annoying when people “reply” to a comment yet their “reply” is on another subject. Did you even listen to what he said in talking about it?
Please react to Tony Jackson’s cover of this song! He does an amazing job!
The woman in the song is the Love of his Life and she died in childbirth. He is left in a house of memories
Wow! I knew that the baby died, but not the wife.
Finally someone other than me gets it
I don't think this is a case where the wife died. I think she divorced him and left taking their baby with her. I don't think he would say about a woman who died in childbirth, "She left me WITHOUT MERCY". If she had died she certainly would have had no choice in the matter and he could not have felt that her leaving constituted a merciless act on her part.
@Maryann Anderson The wife and baby died during birth thats why she took nothing because they died
@@maryannanderson2213 but just her leaving and taking the baby wouldn’t “chill you to the bone”
Now you need to watch Tony Jackson's version of this song.
Allan Jackson(Also a Country music star) once said, (George Jones was just a good'ole Boy when he met him, if you didn't know better you''d think he worked at a gas station down the road)... I think that's how most view him.. Of course though, he did have a dark side when there were times you just didn't want to cross him... Mostly brought out by drinking. He was a chronic Alcoholic and when got bad on the booze, it wasn't a good thing... He overcame that later in life though and had kind of a (second wind) as far as his carrear was concerned... Instead of trying to hide his past, he came to terms with it and wrote some songs about it.. One being "No show Jones"...
@RA82828 He was also bad onvthe booze then. A true addict to alcohol. Doesn't excuse his behavior, but it does explain a lot. I know what it is like to be "walking on egg smells around an alcoholic. I grew up with it. A lot of good times, but one had to be careful about what one says, and how, or one can get it...
My dad dabbled with managing country stars for a short time. I don’t know the specifics but my dad hated JJ (one of MY favorite singers). I guess in his dark hours, he was chronically late to shows and drunk as a skunk. Didn’t matter to me. Still top 5 to me!
He said she left him FOREVER so he lost her in childbirth! Both she and baby died is how I always understood it!
This song sparks disagreements between a breakup and death. I tend to think its about a broken family. But either way it is a sad song.
"chill you to the bone" "there's her rings, all her things, and her clothes are in the closet.." This ain't divorce. It's Post-partum depression. The wife took her own life, and her baby's."
@@Rkenton48 This is an easy call. She left him without mercy. Indicating a intentional act on her part. She left all her clothes and rings, again an intentional indication on her part showing she wants nothing to do with him anymore. She took the baby and his heart, intentionally denying him of contact with the baby. The chill you to the bone is her cruelty, especially after all the love that seemed to exist between them. Your making up this back story of death in child birth...not even a hint of that in the song. The best proof of Jones' meaning is that this was recorded just as he and Tammy were about to separate.
@@hammertime615 Never said 'death in childbirth'. I said "Post-Partum Depression". And all of the clues are there. Leaving and taking the baby are fairly common place and not enough to 'chill you to the bone'. No woman leaves her husband, taking the baby, and leaves EVERYTHING else behind. "All her rings, things, and clothes"? I stand by my inference, and I dislike being misquoted. Look up Post-Partum Depression, and see what it has made women do to themselves, their babies, and their husbands. THAT is indeed bone-chilling. As a man, I guess you wouldn't know about such things, so look it up and then listen to the song again. It fits the profile.
George was Married to Tammy Wynette there is a Awesome movie on UA-cam called stand by your man about Tammy and how she meet George
Memories of love and lifestyle gone wife and child!
I think it’s about a wife that died during child birth. There was a nursery fro the baby to come home to. Her ring and all her things still there. Like you mentioned chill you to the bone. Death is more fitting. He also says he lost her forever. Meaning it’s final. Divorce isn’t always final and even when it is one of them is hopeful it isn’t. So that isn’t the best way to describe a divorce or wife leaving when he is sad. He would likely be hopeful it isn’t and most don’t think that way. So the evidence suggest wife dying during child birth. It could also be the wife killing the kid then herself but let’s not go that far.
Being her clothes were left I doubt she left him. Seems her and the kid passed away.
You're real perceptive, because when I first heard this song, I thought it was because she just walked out on him but her and the kid were killed in a car accident. the clothes left in the closet her rings on the table (this isn't my take I heard it from a podcast where the guy knew the songwriter) but he intentionally wrote it as people could interpret it the way they wanted to. He also said the majority of people interpret it as she walked out on him so I'm not the only one. You had it from the start where you were talking about chill you to the bone.
He's singing about life my friend
Tammy Wynette and George Jones were married and they got divorced. George was known for his temper when drinking. When Tammy could not take it no more she left him. Georges nickname was No Show George .
🤠❤🤠
@MrLboydReacts
You have got to watch the 1 season show that chronicals the reallife events surrounding George Jones and Tammy Wynette. The name of the show is George and Tammy!!! If you do i promise you'll never be able to listen to any of his songs written or recorded during their lives together without balling like a baby!
You should try reacting to Old Violin by Johnny Paycheck
I didn't know you had done this!
I have listened to this song so many times and I have gone back and forth as to whether she died or left him. She could have had a wreck ans she and the baby died.
I think Aaron Neville did a great cover of this
You have to think of words written in the era.
He is talking about his ex wife Tammy Wynette
The song is about a lover who died during childbirth.
You really should give "Patches" by BB KING/ GEORGE JONES a listen
To me this one always felt like she and the baby dies during childbirth.
The dew frop thing was ok for a minute.. but.. cant see th evideo now.
it is about Divorce.
Tammy took Georgette . That's what this song 🎵 is about. Divorce
Any man to to achieve getting a dui on a lawn tractor is alright w me .
The woman died in childbirth
It's tammy. She divorced him because of his drinking.
Not sure if anyone else commented this but the reason they all say he's the best country singer and not the best country artist is because he did not write his songs. Hank Williams is the best country artist ever. In my opinion, George Jones would be number one in my book but he did not write his songs
It was when tammy left him and took his only daughter
She left and hes left with nothing
Couple things. George Jones did not write the song. Also, I think that it's worse than divorce. Note that she left in a huge hurry, because she left all her stuff behind. HOWEVER, she STOLE THEIR BABY. No reason given! Did he beat her? Did she find another lover? No reason given!
Or maybe they both died.
Its when tammy left him and took his only daughter
Hiß wife was pregnant and she passed away
If she left him she wouldn’t have left her clothes in the closet. This song was about his wife dying while giving birth 😢😢😢.
There was a time if you had a death in the family they would put a black wreath on the door.
The extinguishing of a life in comparison to the death of timeless love and family, mmm, sometimes it's not so different. So the wife has enough, takes the baby because he's a no good drinking cheater. At which point he wakes up for a moment to bemoan his plight . . . although I would bet he is lip dancing drunk while telling the tale. Which takes nothing away from the song, because it's George. You already did Who's Gonna Fill Their Shoes, right?
It's so simple that she definitely died during childbirth. He said she's gone forever and that she left her rings and all her things and her clothes are still in the closet and they also had a great sex life.
It was a divorce
Hmmm. I think it is death due to childbirth. He says all of her clothes are still in the closet, like she left them when she tore my world apart.
He lost a daughter
I think the wife and baby must be "gone forever" maybe in a car accident. Why else are all her things still there? She couldn't pack?
There is ZERO to indicate she/he were unhappy....quite the opposite. Also he says all her things, including her clothes are there. Lastly, he says she's GONE FOREVER...AND the home would NEVER be the same. If she simply left, there could be a chance she'd come back. It's painful, but quite clear...she died in childbirth as well as the child.
Alk Wal K throw T HR OUGH this. THI S world WORLD with WIT H may M. A
Walk through this world with me. That's the George John song that I love. But I love it all but I do love that 1. Probably a little bit more I can't help it it's like a
You’re lost dude
Tammy
Can you ever just listen to a song without the over analysis??!!
He is a reactor, his job is to react and analyze....nothing wrong with it....
If you don't like the type of reaction style, don't tune in. I personally enjoy the deep dive;
@@hammertime615 I really love when he does the epic rap battles and the history of those
I'm sure he does. But this is a "Reaction" video... Giving his analysis is kind of the point...
