Brad Paisley - Whiskey Lullaby (Full Version - Official Video) ft. Alison Krauss 

Anyone watching in 2024

This song is from the heart that has been broken. My mom cheated on my dad when he was in Vietnam. She shamed herself. Something broke in dad and he left one day to heal in the wilderness. To this very day I have not seen nor spoken to him. I know he is alive and well. He has another family now. I have not tried to contact him, I don't want to bring the sadness back to him. By reminding him of a life he worked hard to forget. I love you daddy.

When this came out I was homeless, on drugs, and went to jail. I now have a house, job, and husband. This song and “Clover Cage - In the Moment” are the two songs that helped get rid of my depression. I just want to send love to everyone and I want everyone to know things will get better. We are in this together..I love you 💕

I’m not American so please excuse for any errors. I just found this song randomly on a bus traveling just two weeks ago. Rain was pouring and the snowy fields covered in snow melting slowly, all is dark, the bus warm and cozy. Damn, I started choking up hearing the chorus. Honestly it felt like I haven’t been listening to music at all in my whole life, until I heard this song. Exceptionally well written and straight to the heart type of lyrics.

This song makes me wanna cry. I will never understand how anyone can cheat on their significant other. I can't imagine doing something like this to my man. No matter how long hes gone i will wait faithfully for him to come home to me.

If you're watching this in 2024, you are not alone. Edit 1: 2022 Edit 2: 2023 Edit 3: 2024

Being cheated on is the worst feeling, listening to this song after being cheated on hits different

I'm leaving this comment for my son to see. Your old man loved this tune. With a glass of Irish whiskey in hand.

Even in 2024, the haunting beauty of 'Whiskey Lullaby' by Brad Paisley and Alison Krauss continues to captivate hearts. This song is a timeless masterpiece, weaving a poignant tale that echoes through the years.

My brother died in August. He was way too young and struggled with alcoholism..he fought so hard to beat it. And my own mom drank herself to death and this song makes me think and cry for both of them. He never got over losing her. And in the end I lost both. I wish I could join him some days. God give me strength to face the future without my best friend, my brother.

So many couples would still be together if they take their vows seriously; not backing away when circumstances led them astray. 💜

its scary when you can sympathize with every look and emotional suggestion in a song like this.

He has survived the war,but couldn't survive betrayal of women he loved.Sad but true...

I was deployed back in 2020. Found out a week later I was getting cheated on by my beloved wife. 2 years later I still can’t get passed the pain. She’s now taking our 2 daughters and leaving me for another guy. All I can think of is this song. But I promised myself this wouldn’t be the end for me. Be safe to everyone out there. You’re not alone. There’s always a light at the end

This sad song hits me hard on Valentine’s Day of 24. I realize that my sweet Johnny is the only one I shall love forever so I thank Brad Paisley & Alison Krauss for this haunting duet. May God bless them. ❤️❤️❤️

Folks, this song is real for far too many people. It’s not a sin to have a drink, but it is to be drunk and it is to be a drunk. If you cannot cut yourself off after one or two then you need to accept the truth that you can’t handle the stuff and that you need to abstain from it forever. Life is short, my friends - don’t spend it drunk and alone. No matter how bad your life may seem to be today it can get better. You are not a mistake and you are not an accident, and you have purpose and value. I know it’s difficult to know what your purpose in life is - I’m 45 and still don’t know my own, only that I do have at least one - but you have dignity and are worthy of happiness. Don’t let booze take it all from you, because if you’re an alcoholic it will take everything you love away from you. I don’t know you, but I’m begging you to enter a treatment program and turn yourself from an alcoholic into a recovering alcoholic - it will save your life.

To anybody who's reading this, I pray that whatever is hurting you or whatever you are constantly stressing about gets better. May the dark thoughts, the overthinking, and the doubt exit your mind right now. May clarity replace confusion. May peace and calmness fill your life. Amen.💕 Hallelujah

The war didn't kill him it's the LOVE that killed him.

The first time I heard this song, I cried like a baby. So many of us in life have been affected by the trauma and the pain of our loved ones who served for our country we love. War has silent victims. Children born with the undying loyalty of their county, and the confusion of the mess that beurocracy creates. Everyone has a story, everyone has struggles, triumphs, and everyone has the chance to hear the message of God and HEALING. Only when you face your demons and your pain are you truly put through the test of God to say..."Amen" God Won and so did Love

Thank you Steve for being my uncle and thank you for service.❤❤❤❤

Crazy, that the sound of gun and mortar doesn't break a soldier's heart, but the loss of his woman drag him to six feet under.

Overcoming my alcohol addiction and this song gets to me every time. I OFFICIALLY have two weeks clean and it may not seem like long but what I have overcame in these 2 weeks has been a milestone! ❤ Prayers to everyone dealing with pain, hurt and addiction. 🙏🏽

I was listening to this great song today, for the first time and ended up crying, it touched me deeply. One of the saddest songs ive ever heard.

2024 and I still cry,(ugly cry) every time I hear this song, my dad committed suicide in 2003 and I feel this song in my soul.

My son just retired from the Navy he just got back from Okinawa he was in since 9/11 he got back and and found out his wife does not want to be with him if you read this please pray for him he's always been faithful and he's a good man and he loves her and his family

2:36 *he survived war but died at his home* 💔 Don't cheat. Just breakup.

You will never understand unless youve lived this. Grandad fought in both world wars. Dad fought nam. Brother went to Afghanistan. Im just a witness. God bless our soldiers. And god bless us who couldnt serve due to health. Because we would have. We would have. ❤

Its so beautiful how words can flow in such a way that it goes straight to your heart and makes it rain and thunder storm 💕

i was just looking for some country music to play on my guitar to test my new strings.. i have to say that i didnt expect to drop a tear while watching this.. lost motivation to play

This song still makes me cry for him, no other song hits this painful...

I'm sober 9 years in June🎉

❤ love is blind, when you feel the heart and soul. Go to them. Life is to short to live without your love. Be honest and Truth them. Kindness in your heart and love with all you have ... Happiness is love i promise don't give up...Pray to god that they know the love and get it before it hurts you so bad. .. Faith in god please keep me safe. .. sending love and respect. ❤❤❤

"She put him out, like the burning end of a midnight cigarette." What a line! Every line is perfection. But, so sad and tragic.

I've watched this music video so many times and I still cry.

I'm pushing 60. This song will always make me think of my first love Jean. She did me wrong all those years ago. I've spent my life searching and drinking for the answers why. My mind and bottle always come up empty. I haven't been lucky enough to drink myself to death. I somehow always wake up. I have others who depend on me now so I can't leave just yet but I pray every night to end up beneath that willow as soon as I can. God bless this song.

LOVE FROM RWANDA, Even in 2024, the haunting beauty of 'Whiskey Lullaby' by Brad Paisley and Alison Krauss continues to captivate hearts. This song is a timeless masterpiece, weaving a poignant tale that echoes through the years.

I lost my husband to suicide at the age of 49 after being a Veteran in the Navy. It has absolutely devastated me, many days I want to join him, he was the love of my life. We loved listening to this song and had many of Brad Paisley's songs played at our wedding. My love I miss you beyond words my beautiful soul, baby until we meet again. #Mission22

I turned to alcohol after losing a woman,ruined my life and wasted a lot of talent. I was well on my way to drinking myself to death but for some reason I just stopped one day,that was 8 yrs ago and I haven't touched a drink since. I still miss her and wish everyday I had that that time back but I'm alive and I'm thankful for that if nothing else.

My toxic trait is listening to this song knowing it makes me cry every. Single. time.

What good old times we had when we was younger an heard our loved ones playing this masterpiece 😔

She put him out, like the burning of a midnight cigarette. This lyric hits so hard

Please don't do this to one of your servicemen. I had many Marines in my command kill themselves over a woman. I know it sounds dumb, but you don't understand until you go through it. This really happens.

A true definition of a masterpiece😊😊😊

I love this song. My husband & I were together for 18 yrs. My mom died very suddenly out of nowhere. She left me some money, I never imagined that less than a year later my husband would drink himself to death. I was grieving for my mom & didn't notice him dying too. I've lost them both, my father, my uncle, my BFF, and close cousin all before I turned 45. I'm happy to say I'm 8 years sober & thriving, but boy did I go through hell to get here. Blessed Be 💜

"Go start your life son" This line always breaks my heart. These words are so tranquil with assurance.

My father took his life when I was 19. That was almost 7 years ago now. It went a lot like this story the song tells. He was a veteran first, then an alcoholic, then a memory. I'll listen to this song when i want to remember him. He was a damn fine man. He deserved better

Alcoholism is real. It's a family breaker, job destroyer and I'm so glad I really gave my life to God and I didn't go to the end with it! Praise God I'm free from alcoholism for 30 years. You can be saved. Sober 3 months now and never felt better

goes out to all broken hearts in 2024. may God see you through

She put him out Like the burning end of a midnight cigarette She broke his heart He spent his whole life trying to forget We watched him drink his pain away Little at a time But he never could get drunk enough To get her off his mind until the night He put that bottle to his head and pulled the trigger And finally drank away her memory Life is short but this time it was bigger And the strength he had to get up off his knees We found him with his face down in the pillow With a note that said I'll love her till I die And when we buried him beneath the willow The angels sang a whiskey lullaby La la la la la la la La la la la la la la La la la la la la la La la la la la la la The rumors flew But nobody knew how much she blamed herself For years and years She tried to hide the whiskey on her breathe She finally drank her pain away little at a time But she never could get drunk enough to get him of her mind Until the night She put that bottle to her head and pulled the trigger And finally drank away his memory Life is short but this time it was bigger Than the strength she had to get up off her knees We found her with her face down in the pillow Clinging to his picture for dear life We laid her next to him beneath the willow While the Angels sang a whiskey lullaby La la la la la la la La la la la la la la La la la la la la la La la la la la la la La la la la la la la La la la la la la la La la la la la la la La la la la la la la

As a heavy metal fan, this is one of the greatest and saddest songs I have ever heard. Now I understand Metallica's appreciation for country music.

Probably one of if not the greatest written country song of the past 2 decades🎸

One of the best greatest country song ever written. 😊

This was the story of my life, but i was strong enough not to pull the trigger cause i don't want to leave my 3 year old baby girl all alone in this cruel world😭 she's the only reason i carry on.

I cry in thankfulness everytime I here this song. My X broke my heart and stole my kids away from me and I have not seen them in over 15 years. I would have drank myself to death over the pain if it were not for the great love of my Heavenly Father. I cry with joy for His love to save me and heal me.

its hard to describe the pain, your love, your life, your bestfriend, your everything can do.... you think it will never happen, until it does.... life is a wonder

This may be the saddest song i have ever heard. A truly great feat of storytelling

Oh my God, first time watching the video to this song. In tears, total and uncontrollable tears.

I think this is the greatest country song ever written. It's emotional, raw, and extremely well written. Dont get me wrong, it's hard to put this at the top when so many others came before this, but I just think this takes the cake.

Imagine being 8 and hearing this at 3am over an alarm clock radio. Yeah this song kinda emotionally broke me as a kid.

I like that the little girl saw them reunited at the end. A little bittersweet, but it makes you think about love everlasting, you know?

I listen to this song multiple times a day. No one will understand the pain and hurt that the individual endures. I've tried to drink my pain away before. Yeah, I TRIED......I thought about it. But rather than take my own pain away, I told myself, enough is enough. I learned to cope with myself by burying myself in work. Love is betrayal by commitment. Then, all you have left is HOPE. I totally understand the whole song, cause it happened to me, but I wouldn't give up living. Now, I've accomplish wealth to share it with the next one. Hopefully, I'll keep my guards up and find someone that would really appreciate me. Thought I share this whoever likes to hear it.

Till today i can't stop listening to this song 😭💕

The perfect song for those who need comfort in a hardest of times ,

This song has always brought me to tears. I sang a whiskey lullaby when I lost my husband to cancer in 2008.....

I am a the daughter of a soldier who went through this over twenty years ago, this song brings me back to my childhood. Thankfully my parents worked it out, but I saw the pain in my dads eyes and will never forget. Thank you to all those soldiers and sailors out there. Just know there is still hope.

The reall Man could stand in any situation and find strength to forgive. Everybody is doing mistakes. There is many evil situations in the life, trying to destroy something good all the time. We need to give another chance, specially when both Love ❤️ each so dearly, more than their Lifes. Amen 🙏.

All these years later hearing this song still brings instant tears flooding down my face. WHY do people hurt & destroy each other so badly? And many of them have ZERO remorse for the things that they do. SMH

I lost my husband in Afghanistan in 2011. I'm also an army veteran. I've carried guilt of being alive and eventually love again.... until I sabotaged that relationship. I couldn't get over the loss of my husband. Suicide was on the table for me, but having a heart attack almost did me in due to grief. My daughter, bless her heart, at the age of 10 then saved my life. I stopped drinking and self medicating and went back to college. I'm still single, but I'm one hell of a mom and grandma to my soon to be 4 year old grandson. I can look at my husband's flag case and smile and tell him that I love and miss you without falling apart. Just have to keep taking one day at a time and one step in front of the other one at a time. I'm happy and mentally well. My kids might beg to differ LOL, but the world is beautiful. I just know I will see him again on the other side.

Cheating is a choice. If you can't be faithful then better not to get into a relationship. You just dont know how much damage you can do to a person💔

This song really gets to me when I think about our servicemen who have been driven to drink due to cheating loved ones. 🇲🇾🌟☦️💜

This song will always be in my heart. Truly a beautiful song.

Lost a close friend in the Ethiopian plane crush and he just loved this song. Rest In Peace G.M. Forever in our hearts 💕

My heart hurts for all our soldiers who faced this, for all the wifes who fought the nightmares of what our soldiers were going through, for all the couples who fought the ptsd. May God be with you.

This song makes me cry😢😢

This song hits different when you single 💖A u t h e n t i c V i e w s D o a t C o a m💖 and Brad Paisley talent the duo making virals

My dad used to love this song, he passed away a week now. I remember listening to him sing it as it was playing. I miss him so much

My brother in law was found on the couch with a bottle beside him he had a medical discharge from the military he lost his wife and daughter he was alone he was depressed i will forever honor this song in his memory -RIP Airman

Yes .......and still makes me cry

Who, really lost in this exchange. They both lost, and the world lost as the witness of what is truly important in LOVE.

This is not a "sad song" its a real life song. It sucks to go thru this, and as someone who somehow survived this literal scenerio 4 years ago, i will say this song made me realize what i was doing to myself and i hated myself and has helped me thru the process. Im still fighting the whiskey and the demons but i will win, and this song will be one of the reasons.

"he spent his whole life tryin' to forget" this line fuckin hit me. ngl

There is so much pain and beauty in this song. Such regret and sorrow so deep that it cannot be expressed, even in death. The two can only smile and take eachothers hand as they couldn't in life.

I'm not crying, you are crying! 😢

as a former serviceman i can confirm that depression is real>>>lets be careful and stop playing with people feelings

13 years....just thrown away....Damn this song is hitting home hard right now....

I've always loved Alison Krauss & Brad Paisley's voices. Even better together tho this song breaks everyone's heart when they hear it even in 2024.

Thanks so much for your positive affirmation; it really encourages me to keep my faith. ❤️

not a huge country music fan but when I was training to be a long haul truck driver my trainer kept it on the country music stations and this was one of the songs I liked.

This song never fails me. How many of us cling to a picture of what could've been. Makes a grown man cry like a baby when you feel the pain

That is one sad song... Take those onion peels away! Still, in 2024... Very beautiful song, sang perfectly.

This is a song that puts you in the same place as the guy that is in the video and I have lost my mind when I lost my mom she was so precious to me that I will never know the depths of her personality and struggles love you mom RIP

Rest in peace to all them soldiers that gave their lives only to lose the love of their lives

Reasons this makes me cry- 1. Sad Story 2. Sad music 3. Nostalgia

Anyone here, please know, There are angels everywhere and good people in all places. We love you, we pray for you, and we are here for you. When going through hell please believe you can get out before the devil ever knew you were there! IT CAN GET BETTER!

2024 anyone😅??

I'm just sitting here missing my husband, he died in March. He loved this song and many others his playlist is breaking my heart. We were on and off for 25 yrs when his mom passed and we were apart alcohol took over. He drank for years but got sober last Christmas, We got married February 14th 2020 and he got sick in March with covid symptoms he died March 8th. 3 weeks after we were wed.

I was in 11 years. Deployed to 9 countries and I divorced twice just like this both cheated on me. I got a real woman now. Been married 10 years!

Sad story of every warrior 😢

I now have five weeks of sobriety & have been heartache of romance & my 49ers losing by three points in overtime at the Super Bowl. This song is so sad that it tries to make give in to my old ways but I’m doing it in my present state of mind & by the grace of God. ☦️💕🌟
