      Matthew DeFeo Thank you.I am hoping that by speaking out,I can possibly make someone out there who may see this to realize that drugs will take you out .If it helps to save a life,I will talk openly about my son and the demons he battled.I have cried a river since last week for his young life.May he finally find peace.

    I love the song "Drink a beer". I lost my younger and brother and sister in a car accident in 2008. I miss them so much. My sister was 20 and my brother was 16. My sister was only 15 months younger than me. She was my best friend. Thank you Luke. Love your # 1 fan.

      CMT awards aren't "Mainstream"? Of course they are you dumb bitch. All your capitol letters are UNCALLED FOR. So there, you have definitely done something uncalled for. P.s. Luke Bryan is worth 90 Million dollars. Not mainstream? You're mental lady. I still love you, check out my music if you want. I am definitely not main stream. That means I'm not on ABC news telling the story of my brother hanging his self after shooting my grandma. Instead I am here arguing with someone who used too many capitols and it triggered me. lol. I just felt someone needed to tell you to shut the hell up, so shut the hell up. there. If you were on the rag the day you made these comments please forgive my honest and true comments.

    • @AdamBogan
      @AdamBogan 5 років тому

      Mainstream definition: Mainstream is a term that usually refers to the common current of thought of the majority, meaning that "mainstream" things are those that are currently popular with most people. It is most often applied in the arts (i.e., music, literature, and performance).

    • @KyleDunnSharptonStudios
      @KyleDunnSharptonStudios 10 років тому +3

      I agree to that as well. Guys like Josh Turner & Joe Nichols keep that traditional country twang in their voice and use lots of classic country instruments ( Mandolin, Lap Steel, Banjo, Fiddle). Where others its more pop and hip hop beats running loops lol.

    • @jjman8327
      @jjman8327 9 років тому

      Kyle Dunn i agree with what you guys are saying. The great thing for me is having the old school country singers songs and with the internet age you dont have to have a major label to succeed. Still alot of texas country singers making traditional sounding music..like Aaron Watson for example.

    • @KyleDunnSharptonStudios

    Such a wonderful, spiritual man Luke is. I lost a brother to drugs and I know the pain, and it haunts me to this day. I tried over the years to help him, but deep down inside of me I know it had to be him that wanted the help. He left a beautiful note, thanking everybody and tell us all he was so sorry for the pain he caused us over the years. Luke, your share of your siblings brought tears to my eyes and I wish you Peace within you. HUGS !!!

    Thank you so much for sharing your story that drink a beer is based on! I lost my father less than 2 months ago and this song is something I can relate to and believe it or not this song means something to my 8 yr old son, he thinks of his grandfather when we hear it. It's beautiful and there couldn't be a more perfect song. I am incredibly sorry for your loss I could not imagine losing a sibling or a child. My father is hard enough and I'm still struggling but your song is definitely inspirational. I believe from not on, on the date my father passed we'll go to a pier my father went to with our Luke Bryan and I'll drink a beer for us all in honor of my father.
    Forever a Luke Bryan fan!,

    What a humble, mellow dude. We all must go on in times of hardship. We get dealt shitty cards and all we can do is stack the deck and start over. Lost Dad when I was 13, Uncle was murdered 3 years ago and a close friend that helped me through depression just passed out of nowhere. You never really get over the loss of someone, you just bury it deep inside and remember what you gained from that person. I think that's what keeps you going, what you've learned from them, what they've taught you.

So I know how you feel. Even when a few years goes by its still hard to not burst out in tears knowing that someone so close is gone. Its hard to bare the pain in our hearts. I hope Luke Bryan can personally read this comment, to knlw that he can relate to one of his biggest fans.

I'm in a way going through a similar situation at the moment....my mother won't be with us much longer...but she has been through a lot over the year's and she is ready to go. Has been a hard week coming to grips with that reality but we've talked and I know it's ok now. Thank you for your music and encouragement not just for me but for everyone who can relate. I've been a fan and always will be. Love your story! Your awesome inside and out. Keep your head up! Always pushing forward! 😊

    @scottchristner1472 9 років тому +1

    He's still so down to earth and grounded, he's relatable and seems like a normal person which he is but we put these superstars on such high cloud that they seem superhuman, but he is so genuine and of course extremely talented. He is truly living his dream that he earned fully with dedication and hard work day in, day out. Anyone can achieve whatever they want, you get back in return what you put in for sure and of course a little bit of luck. He truly deserves every achievement and all that comes his way, his music is so good and all his songs get stuck in your head. So anyone out their if you truly want something go get it and never stop, let anyone tell you "you can't", "you'll never make it" or "give up". The only thing you should listen to that's negative meaning is "keep dreaming" because you should keep dreaming that one day you will eventually achieve your dream. Put all your effort, hardwork, commitment, determination and every waking minute into whatever your dream is, than maybe with a little luck and aligning stars you will like him be living the dream you dream every night that you yourself turned from only in your head to a true reality! Just my little 2 cents into this...thanks for reading and good luck! Post below what your dream is and maybe one day we all will be watching you on UA-cam here instead :)

    My thoughts and prayers go out to Luke and his family. It is so hard to loose a loved one. And he's right, you never fully get over it or move on. But for him to know that God is still there is the best thing ever. We just lost my mother in law in March 2017 due to cancer among other things as well. But we know that she is no longer in any pain and suffering. Which does help some as she was in a lot of pain the past few years dealing with the cancer. Also Congrats Luke on your beautiful family that you have started and created! You, your wife, and your boys were struck with the gorgeous stick. All of you are very beautiful!

Never questioned God!! I know he has a plan for everyone. Not sure what it is and someday like it says in the song "Drink a Beer" it will all make sense to us. God Bless you Luke Bryan and all of your family!!! You have such a Beautiful family.

    Luke, your song Drink a beer touches me so deeply. Like yourself i experienced tragedies with the loss of my Father 5 years ago and recently lost my Brother 1 year ago both to suicide suffering with depression. I have a very close family with a Mother, 1 sister and two brothers left. My oldest brother and i were so close, loved camping, fishing and just hangin out out the lake drinkin and just talkin and tellin stories till we couldnt stand no more. I cant hide the emotions any time this song plays, not to mention that I love all your music. The song Blood brothers hits me pretty hard as well. Drink a Beer hits so hard and real with my own tragedies and it just takes me to a time when me and my Brother were so happy and had so much fun together. I am so sorry for your loss, I know from experience that it takes a toll. You have overcome those hard times to really do something positive with your life.

Your right bro god is good and he is gracious, and he is so faithful, I've been walking through a lot and hearing you say that again is a strong reminder of that. I continue to pray for you. God bless

Followed his career off and on since then, he puts on an amazing show as well. I like seeing artists truly enjoying doing what they love, and he’s definitely one of those. An undeserved scapegoat of an entire genre. Ridiculously nice when I met him as well. Some people enjoy fun music, some don’t. Absolutely nothing wrong with Luke or his music.

    I love Luke Bryan's rich singing voice tone! Talented young man. Touching to hear that he overcame tragedy with his family supporting his talent! Sad to hear he lost his brother to a car crash at 19 but then he brought tears to my eyes when he deeply shared the sudden unexplained loss of his sister. I lost my sister at her age of 27 (2 days after her birthday) to a rare brain tumor, second youngest person in the world to get diagnosed with that form of brain tumor that more common in people over the age of 70 years of age... This was in 2017. I lost my brother in 2008 and other sister in 2002 both at infancy ages. Life has thrown me several mountains to try and hop, but with 3 children of my own, there wasn't enough time to fully grieve. I grieve through song writing like I've always done since the age of sixteen. As Florida Georgia Line writes "MUSIC IS HEALING"---( Florida Georgia Line has full rights to that song). Hearing the song music is healing and watching this interview with Luke Bryan has helped get through sibling losses finally and helped in the healing process in grieving. Thank ABC news for posting this heartfelt interview!

  • @tosha8317
    @tosha8317 6 років тому +1

    Luke and his family have always been precious people on the inside as much as they are on the outside. I recall when his mom came to my mother-in-law and asked... "How do you move on from the loss of a child...more importantly...2?" I remember breaking down as they both broke down and consoled each other. My son and excited have hunted with Luke and it is a memory my son will have forever. Luke's dad helped me get a job. Gone are those day's now that I am divorcing my husband and trying to save the financial mess he left me in. Not fun just trying to save my home he maliciously quit paying on. But through that marriage I gained some wonderful friends for a little while and some beautiful memories. As I went to work everyday I was finally relieved to see his mother smile and hear her laughter after such heartache, because she worked at the office next to mine. Ms Laclaire... you taught me to keep fighting when you've giving up hope. I will get my smile back one day as you did. Mr Tommy and Eddie...Thank you for the opportunity to serve the Farmers of Lee County. I gained such joy and knowledge in my position that reflected how I was raised. Luke...never lose your focus and heart. Chris, Kelly and Lee are certainly looking down smiling. Take care and hugs.

    When I was two, both my grandfathers died (in their 40's) and my 19 year old aunt was murdered. When I was 30, my 23 yr old brother (only sibling) died on Labor Day. When I was 39, my mom died on Memorial Day and two months later, my stepdad died in an accident. This song has touched me so deeply. Every day I think of those I lost. This song gave me a different perspective to look at that loss from. To lose my brother, my best friend, impacted me the most. I think LB is extremely talented and after seeing this story, I have a whole other appreciation and level of respect for him as a human being. Thank your father for giving you the push to pursue your dream and bless us with your amazing story of hope and your talent.

We found out back in April that it wasn't just a accident that he was murdered so lukes song drink a beer really hits home and makes me think of my brother every time I hear the song. My brothers name was also Chris.

    it's always sad when something like that happens to someone. Im not the biggest fan of his music, but he is a great singer, has great talent. i say that, only because he does have songs(from his early career, and drink a beer) that NONE would say is NOT country. i dont really care for his music because he is starting to stray from what is true country to what is more of a pop country, but looking back neither type of music- pop, country, rap or anything is the same as it was as ten years ago. so all of you that say he is a awful singer need to adjust your words before you criticize his singing for 2 reasons. ONE- he is a great artist and writes great music. TWO- most people that say he sucks cant hit a single note without scaring someone for life, much less write a song. Props to Luke for opening, up sharing his story and inspiring thousands of kids and adults and trying to use his past to help them through their present deal of hard times
