Been there, done that. She was married when I got back home. I moved on. It happened almost 50 years ago and I still remember. War is hell whether you die or not. All of us who made it back were changed forever.
stephen I cry to this song. It played the day I found out my first love died. I was on a pop station and as soon as I read the post this song played. It’s forever a memory and reminds me I lost him
This song gets to me every time I listen to it. My husband committed suicide and his letter said somewhat the same thing and I've thought so many times of ending it also. My kids are the only reason I'm still here. I've blamed myself every day since it happen and I always will. R.I.P TRAVIS WAYNE. I WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU
Girl hang in there. I'm still trying not to do it. I don't really know what to do. I still think there's something better waiting for us. I'm not sure yet
@WillKenneth-jl1pb yes it was hell on earth. Being a 21 year old widow with 2 kids was hard enough but losing him made it so much harder. I have gathered the strength to start living instead of existing but I think a part of me will always partially blame myself. My kids have grown up to be so understanding about the situation but our daughter has so many unanswered questions. She was 11 mths when he passed. Thank you for the comment and the prayers
I left my husband of 10 yrs after an affair but he tried so hard to reconcile, I was so upset with him I just couldn't but he started to drink heavily; His friends kept telling me that he was drinking all day and night, at the time I didn't care, I was so cold to him =( he passed away tragically in his addiction. I was so so upset and mad at myself. It was like everything he did wrong didn't matter anymore, I just wanted him alive and wanted to tell him the ways he hurt my heart didn't matter anymore, I wished so hard we could work it out but he was gone. I started to drink heavily after i left him and when he died it was like a bullet to my heart! I was thankfully able to get sober but this easily could have been our story. There's so much I want to say to him. My heart aches when I hear this song! I still can't listen without absolutely breaking down. It's like my soul aches. I miss you Robert. I know you're looking over our kids as they grow.
My first boyfriend in high-school, dated on & off for 4 years. I grew up & away from him & he grew into an addiction. We went to college together too, had a class together, but I kind of ignored him or was awkward around him. He killed himself. No note. Nothing. His dad found him. I looked at my fb messages & he tried to reach out to me before he died. I never responded. His mom gave me a box of every love letter I ever wrote him & trinkets I gave him. He had kept them years after we split in a locked box. I cried harder than anyone at his funeral from the sheer shock of seeing the family & realizing it was all real. Sometimes I wonder if I could have made a difference. He was always somewhat tortured, felt love & hate more than the avg person. Lived a hard life, despite having a loving family. He was a good person. He didn't deserve that pain.
its a beautiful song.on the other hand its sooo sad.i felt so sorry for him i know its a video but this is real life a man goes off fighting for our country comes home and seeing the love of his life with someone else that would kill me too when u truly love someone u dont cheat on them no matter how lonely they get..u wait until they come home...true love is never cheating on the one you say u love with all your heart...everyone that cheats says this and this...no excuse if you dont have trust and truly love someone..than let them go...dont keep someone out of using sommeone....if u dont have trust than if you do and soneone breaks that you have nothing...
And that's happen on my.. When i going out from my town for workin for a few month.when i'm going home.. she want to break coz she have someone new...i can't believe it my true love is cheating on me. So i let her go..
Hello Gloria,how are you doing..... I'm johnson williams by name.....I also love the song.....I would like to know you more...here is my email address johnsonwilliams7123@gmail.com
This song will forever stick with me. I used to listen to this song all the time on repeat on my dad's old PS3. Years later and I still remember how I felt in that moment. This song carries a lot of memories I forgot I had. Such a beautiful song.
This is for Angela…please don’t ever blame yourself for anyone else’s decisions, it everybody’s God given right to choose anything and anytime. How we handle things are up to each of us and doesn’t make s decision right just because one choose’s it. Also, it seems like life is so complicated yet it is not, either one tries to live or they live to die and that’s only between them and God. Happiness and a good quality life is a choice, not just an option, do your best everyday and choose to live. God bless you & all who are suffering, choose every minute of everyday to take advantage of the precious gift of freedom we have in this great nation, God bless you all
The first time I heard the line "He put the bottle to his head and pulled the trigger" I was dumfounded. I've got a decent collection of C&W records and I was a country music radio DJ for years, but I never heard a line that was so intense as that. Wow!
I was very shocked put the bottle to his head this song does not mean drank himself to death it is clear the intention is suicide but love or love gone bad can cause suicide sadly.
Hanif Jones I must say that I have enormous respect for you considering the manner in which I have made contact with you. I am very glad you are a fan of mine. May GOD bless you some more
There is always that one person who can tear you down to nothing and you have to find the strength to bring yourself back up however sometimes you have no strength left
I am only 13, but this song gets me every single time. I knew someone that died from addiction, and Allisons voice makes me shiver when she sings the chorus.
Olivia I agree, and this is a rather emotional song. And I also know someone who died from addiction, my Dad. He was the best man ever to me. He was a really good man, but addiction brings the best of folks down to the grave. :(
I remember listening to this song on CMT in the mornings on the weekend, back when I was say 10 years old or so. Such a touching song. Sad these types of things happen every day.
"He put the bottle to his head and pulled the trigger". One of the greatest single lines ever written for a country song. As one who has spent nearly all of his 74 years trying to find someone and living through every kind of heartbreak and rejection there is, I tear up right at the 4:58 mark when she runs to him with love and gratitude. I'd just once like to see and feel that kind of love.
The opening lyric of this song just KILLS me every time I hear it......"She put him out, like the burning end of a midnight cigarette".....What a colourful and articulate metaphor, yet so simple.....
Been there done that !!!! I am so glad I learned how to cope still love this song after so many years good music never die!!!! And teach us a lesson ...
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
Back in 2021 my roomate at res, use to play this music video daily, he really liked the Song and guess what? The following year he decided to drop out and became a solder😊...... I just wish and pray that his girlfriend will never be unfaithful 😢 One day my Friend will read my comment and Smile.😊....Thank you for introducing me to such Musice❤
I came back to this song for the first time in years. My grandmother used to play this over and over (no matter how much it annoyed everyone in the car) because we loved it so much. She's currently on her final days battling dementia. I didn't realize how much this song would affect me in a very different way today😢
So I blasted this song on my speaker and my friends knew what song it was and we all sang this song out loud it was fucking emotional lol This was our first country song we were into.
Keep faith, love, and laughter. Be VERY thankful for who serves you. The woman obviously didn't want the relationship anymore, and wasted it. Such a sad, but true story. :(
you never really can. the tears flow freely like a strong rapid in a river. we try to navigate it in a boat called life but with one single thing can trigger a memory that can cause our boat to capsize.
There so many bad movie that is apparent zero emotion. And then, this video and song in just two minutes you are caught up in this sad song and story. WONDERFULL !!!
I went through this exactly. almost drank myself to my grave. the pain was real. I loved that woman I gave her my all. but it wasn't good enough for her. she broke me Down to the point I almost lost my life.
chasworkout remember, no one is worth you messing up your life. Show that person that you are better and that you can survive and live better without them. Good luck and keep your head up always.
My brother died 2 days ago because his liver failed. He was only 35, doctors told him he needed to stop drinking and he didn't. He didn't think anything would happen to him and now he's gone. His demons won, I feel so broken without him... he's in no more pain but he should be here with me.
I am sooooooo sorry for your loss. I have asked for JESUS TO TAKE ME BEFORE HIM. MY HEART WOULD BROKEN IF OUR LORD JESUS TOOK HIM BEFORE HIM. OUR BROTHERS ARE VERY SPECIAL TO US. LOVE MY BROTHER.
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 Than 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 'til I die" And when we buried him beneath the willow The angels sang a whiskey lullaby
Omg! I'm so devastated I can't share! I love our walking wounded. Thank you for your service. And all those that waited or didn't! Beautifully sad state of events. Well done by on these artists.
I'm a huge Hip Hop Head and I agree...the music on the radio is garbage....but we Hip Hop Heads have Real Hip Hop flowing through our veins...that shit on the radio is not Hip Hop.
UltimateDarkrai This really IS country music. Not like Lady Antebellum and Taylor Swift. Carrie Underwood is awesome. Rascal Flatts is my favorite country band. Miranda Lambert is pretty darn good too. Blake Shelton is cool. Kenny Chesney was, is and will always be my man. So will Toby Keith.
