... Thank you, Thank you, THANK YOU for not stopping the song multiple times to add your thoughts!!!! To get the full meaning and feeling of music I believe it needs to play through and your reaction, can be seen from your expressions. I wish more people doing "reaction videos" would let the music play fully before letting the audience know their, "reaction." Thank you.
This song is how i feel when im having a dream of my grandparents place. They raised me and my brother from the time i was 6 months old. Pa died in 1988 and granny died in July of 95. I loved that place and its still my home in my heart. 146 acres of farm land. When i get woke up from those dreams I get so mad lol
Paint Me A Birmingham is the sweetest thing.....when I read the comments on the video I was so moved by how people wanted to be painted back to so many different places like when they were little or before they're parents passed or they lost a friend or dropped out of school or made other mistakes. It is a beautiful song that can remind us to appreciate today.
Florida Georgia Line Luke Bryan and a few others worst thing to ever to ever ever happened to country music I don't have no problem with making any kind of music that they want to this is America land of the free do what you want to do I got a fraud when was country music radio stations playing songs with hip hop in them
The old man wasn't talking about dying. He was homeless and curled up behind some garbage cans and covered with the evening news 'newspapers' for warmth and 'dreaming' of the better days of his youth. In the dream he was drip-drying after jumping into Calico-Creek and running from some honey bees etc... He wanted to be left alone because of the fond memories the dream was bringing and in it... 'He was almost home'.
It reminds me of my dad. He had cancer and was ready to go . I had went I to see him the day before he died I touched him and said it's me dad he woke up to look at me then laid back down then a while later he passed. When I hear this song it reminds me of him. He looked up one last time. I can hear him say man if you would have left me alone I was almost home. I laugh a little cause that's something he would say I was almost home. Lol he was a good ol' country boy who loved the outdoors . I hope he is waiting for me and my son we would sure like to go fishing with him..
Oh my goodness...thank you so much for this. I remember hearing this a long time ago and I haven't heard it in a long time. Crying and smiling at the same time.
Such a beautiful song and a painting in my mind as he told the story, ❤ He was getting out of his misery in his dream, made him feel like he was almost home!❤❤❤❤❤
This song means alot to me for difarent reasons. But the homeless man was dreaming about his childhood wen his life was like heaven. He sed he hadn't been there since 55. We wasnt singing about dying. We was havin a wonderful dream about his childhood until he was woken up & had to come back to this horrible reality. This song really means alot to me. It reminds me of my childhood. Thank u for playing it.
This song is near and dear. While awaiting going home I'm bed with pneumonia, after my wife passed. My grandson against my desire called an ambulance. Seeing my children and grandson In the ER and 4 days in ICU so glad he did. Couldn't feel GOD's love any deeper.
I have watched your reaction videos over and over. I'm struggling right now but when I hear you talk about your faith and love of the healing power of music, I don't feel so alone. Thanks...
A month before my momma died , I heard her talking. She was 89. When I woke her this she asked me why did I wake her up, She said she was going into where there were beautiful flowers that she'd never seen before. I told her I wouldn't do it again. She died at home. If there's a heaven I know she's there.
The song is about a homeless man dreaming about his past and how things were simple... he wanted him to leave him alone because he was almost home (in the dream)
Listening to this reminds me of my grandfather. WWII & Korean war vet with 7 citations.. Jamey Johnson "In Color" song was him explaining to me at 8 years old when he was drinking. PDSD was not a term used back then and I believe he drank to cope. Should watch it , let me know what you think..
Mark, he did that song already, back in August, I think. My dad is a Korea vet too. Same with him about the PTSD. My dad didn't even *talk* about the war until about 10yrs ago. Very tragic that the suicide rate in vets now is so high 😔
I did a video of pictures of my grandparents with WWII images to that one. I think it goes along with it well. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-svy_hv2C8ow.html
@@VickiRN97 Thanks Vicki, I am rather new to the site and didn't realize. I agree its sad and disturbing about the veteran suicide rate. My grandfather was a strong willed man then again Apache's are not a week people. He spoke to me about things I understand now as an adult.
@@VickiRN97 you know what's weird, these train wrecks weren't as common for the WWII generation . Always wondered why. Then I reflected on why that was. Then I thought back. Virtually everyone of that age was in the military, your friends, your neighbors, your co-workers. When you woke up in the middle of the night with nightmares and shakes, you could know on your neighbors door and he'd just open it. Let you in, put a pot of coffee on and talk it through with you. He got, he'd been their too. Now there ain't so many of us vets. No neighbors to talk you down and relate. The generation i feel worst for is the Vietnam vets who were spit on and called baby killer. They were the vets that came before me and it was worst.
I said old man your gonna freeze to death let me drive you to the mission ... and he said boy if you left me alone right now I'd be fishing... Awesome lyrics and story telling
You are right. Tears sprang to my eyes as soon as I realised the homeless man was in a dream he never wanted to wake up from. He wanted to keep walking down the road home all the way to heaven. The man who stopped for him realized this but he HAD to try to get him somewhere safe anyway. Is it exactly the right thing to do?
U got it exactly right!!!!!! He would rather die in a state of bliss than in his reality….so sad but happens all the time here in America, especially to our Vets 😞
I think this song was about a guy that was homeless. In his mind he was reliving his childhood memories and had he not been disturbed by the guy he would have made it home in his mind.
In many ways, heaven is whatever is in your mind. You can be facing tough times, terrible times, but when you close your eyes, or go to sleep, you can drift off to your own personal heaven. The guy in the song was on the edge of death, and as they say, his life was flashing before his eyes till he was awakened by a good Samaritan. So many people are "Almost Home", some go home, but not many can see someone who needs to be woke up and offer that ride to the mission. I have my own little slice of heaven I like to revisit in my mind from time to time, but I'm not planning a trip "home" anytime soon.
Thank you for being you!!! I listened to everything and anything that is good! But this song is one of my favorite songs, it makes me cry because hits that familiar place. Where I'm from and gets further and further away as I get older I miss those days when my world was good before life really became hard and .... Yeah...:(
The first verse sets the scene that we find the homeless guy where he has lost his will to live. When another man wakes him up, the homeless man had become even more crestfallen, because he was pulled away from his peace. The chorus is the homeless man telling him what his interpretation of heaven was like, and if the other man didn't wake him up, he would've been there for good. The second verse has the homeless man tell him that he would've had a delicious supper with his family when he was woken up. he describes every sense that he had experienced up until he was woken up. He then repeats the description of heaven that he would've made it to. When the other man tries to help him in the real world, by bringing him to any form of sanctuary here on earth, the HM refuses and said that Heaven was the only sanctuary. As the image of this man's heaven is repeated again, it's finally cemented in the listener's mind what the HM had been wanting in what would've been his final moments on Earth, if not for the person telling this story.
Hey Ty this song is called Almost Home and the artist is Craig Morgan btw he has a song that makes me think about my Granddaddy The song is called Tough and it’s by Craig Morgan too
He was asleep and dreaming dude. He woke him from his dream of all the lyrics you heard man. He was almost home in his dream of all the images mentioned. Not wanting to die
I don't honestly think many people reacting to this song truly get the full level of how sad it is. This man is dying, freezing to death, alone, behind a trash can. That is what he wants, he wants to die, and pass on in peace, leaving this world for what he believes to be the next, where he will be reunited with his dearly missed loved ones. If that man had left him alone, he would have gotten his wish.
Can you imagine, when you pass, that you would be young again and you would see your family and what it was like then. For some people that’s what they miss the most. Their childhood. That was their heaven. I have a hard time listening to this song because I miss my family.
He was dreaming about when he was a young boy growing up. He had dreamed of all his favorite things and the last time he was home and things were great in his life were June of 1955.
Love the song The songs about the old mans life was like flashing before his eyes as he was sleeping, he was going to die in his sleep and was like dreaming about the good times in his life, then he got woke up
it's not about wanting someone to die. it's about the fact that sometimes people find themselves in a place where they want to die. you'll probably realize this once you get older. when the body starts failing you. when it's impossible to be cured from a wasting disease or illness. when you have no family left ,no hope to work again or the ability to take care of yourself. there are things worse than death is what it's saying.
@@jeremylilly1054 sounds like a cop out to me. he might have gotten some flack about "glorifying" suicide from his religious supporters. Craig has a lot of them. Just like military supporters. It's almost baked in for the country genre.
Funny how songs take you back. Craig Morgan came to Iraq in 2004. While there, he learned that a soldier had sung this song at the memorial for a fallen leader who had withdrawn his retirement paperwork to go to Iraq with the unit. The leader was killed there. I remember Craig finding the soldier and inviting him to do it as a duet. Halfway through the chorus, he handed the soldier the mic, said "you've got this," and left the room! He came back a few moments later with a video recorder and recorded the rest of the song. Guarranteed that neither the soldier nor his teammates will forget that moment! Much respect for the artist, the soldier, and those who served beside them.
Ty, I think that for many (certainly not all) people, death comes to be accepted as the next step rather than as something to dread and postpone as long as possible. I know this was true of My Hero (my husband) as his cancer metastasised and spread. He wasn't afraid of death, just of having a prolonged, painful death. At the end, the last gift of love I could give him was to be the person who stood between him and all the well intentioned suggestions for prolonging his life. I was holding his hand when he died and I know he did not die in pain because I fought for him. I think living homeless in the US could bring a person to the same place.
Ty, actually Kerry Reynolds who co-wrote the song said they left it open ended to let the listener interpret how you wish. I have seen it in 2 ways- the 1st being the homeless man was dreaming of a time from his childhood when things were much different and he was happy but he was awoken before he got home to see his Mom again. I also have seen it from the point of laying there in the cold and freezing to death, literally, and he was dreaming of getting home to Heaven and how beautiful it would be but now he has stopped that from happening. Craig Morgan is a great story teller in all his songs.
This song does make me cry for sure, he was dreaming about when he was a kid and at that he was homeless and about to freeze to death And please react to Craig Morgan. This Aint Nothing about loosing his home and talking to a reporter about it, telling about when he lost his wife of many many years. It makes me cry also sorry I am emotional sometimes especially sad songs
@@ppantherful this old man was homeless. he had no family that cared enough for him to take him in. Also if someone is old and they want to go it's pretty selfish to think they should stay and hurt for you.
@@ppantherful if you truly loved someone who was suffering constantly then while you may feel grief at their passing you would be glad that there suffering has ended
This is a touching song. I assumed this was "Almost Home" by Juno Manson. (Also known as "The Postman" theme song, starring Kevin Costner). Two completely different songs. Also a very touching song. Try a reaction video of that song.
He was dreaming...have you ever had a dream and you woke up, it felt like you were there and you wish you would have slept just a little bit longer.... :))
I'm ready to go. I have lived a full, long and hard life. I'm not afraid to die, but I won't hasten it. My family needs me, and God obviously has a purpose for me to fulfill. So here I stay, until it's time to go. Leaving this earthly coil behind is truly not a frightening thing. It is merely a transition. I am looking forward to seeing those who have gone ahead--my daughter, my two little boys, my dad (whole in mind and body), my my grandparents, cherished friends. Home indeed.
No. The homeless man was dreaming about the days of old when he was happy and didn't want the guy waking him out of his dream. He was fishing and playing in the creek and was working his way back home to hear his mom call him for dinner so the guy waking him abrupted his dream and he didn't get to make it home.
