Blake Shelton was there and he pulled his song to win best song so Craig could win at the CMA's that year, because Craig was literally second to Blake's song

My sister has buried 5 adult children out of 6, car wrecks, and cancer. Two daughters, and her husband all died from cancer in less than 2 yrs. I don't know how she still exists, but her faith keeps her going. She also fought breast cancer a little over a year ago. There are strong women in the world, and then there are those like my sister. Thankfully her youngest surviving son is doing well.

His 19 year old son Jerry died in a boating accident four years ago. His son Jerry was adopted, but the loss is just as strong. God bless Jerry, Craig, their family. This is the strongest, most emotional song I have ever heard. The only other song that has ever stirred such emotion was "Tears in heaven" by Eric Clapton after the loss of his son Conner.

@nicolemurray7900 4 года назад

As a woman who has an angel baby. I can attest that there is nothing more painful for a mom than to bury her child. My firstborn daughter was a week old when we lost her. I won't say it's any harder for the mom than the dad, but I'm sure it's different. This song never fails to make me cry, and think of her. She'd be 15 this April. Her little brother and sister are the reason my life has ambition.

@RockN2Country 4 года назад

@Nicole Murray Wow, I am so sorry that you've had to live with this harsh reality. It's just something that nobody can imagine if they haven't been through it, and I haven't been through it. All I can do is imagine. I'm glad you have two other children to go through life with, as they one day will have kids of their own and will understand you better when they do. You're always welcome to post here, as there are beautiful and compassionate people, some of whom have experienced what you have and have shared that on here. No matter what you share or don't, welcome to the channel and I'm with you in spirit. :-)

@davidemswiler4351 4 года назад

First time hearing this song...pretty d*mn real! Craig Morgan has made a career of singing about what he sees and believes (not easy to do in Nashville). He served quite a long time in the Army and now sings for the troops...not as an outsider but as a brother. He's still married to the same women he married before he was anybody. He converted to Roman Catholicism and isn't afraid to put God back into the equation. Critics have said his songs can be preachy and represent an "outdated and simplified" view of faith, patriotism, family, morals, and duty. Well maybe that's true, but I like it and agree that's exactly what America needs to get back to.

He had a very hard time with this song, he wrote it a few nights after his 19 year old son died in a drowning accident. I can’t completely relate to this song but I listen to it to know I’ll one day see my brother that also had drown. I’m glad he wrote it and sang it, so many people go through situations like this and so many people could use a song like this

@katt9384 4 года назад

The loss of a sibling is one that many people over look. Because the parents are hit so hard, and if they have a child or children, they are hit hard as well. So we the sibblings hold it together, and let it out when we are alone. I lost my big brother two years ago, and still feels like yesterday. If we feel the pain we feel, and see our parents with what they feel, it's incomprehensible what they must be feeling. We too lost a part of ourselves, a part of our heart. The words in the song are so true for even us as sibblings loosing our first best friend.

@knitswithhorses2285 4 года назад

Every time I've seen him sing this live, he's kinda lost it. Not surprising. I can't even imagine losing one of my kids or grandsons so young.

@2nicnag2 Год назад

His voice, his faith, being a veteran and a family man, his ability to write music-I’ve never felt so sick after hearing a song. The crying til he passed out, not healing completely til he goes home-absolute devastation and something I hope I never go through and wish he never did either

@dobrobob 4 года назад

I had the pleasure of seeing Craig perform this song at the Grand Ole Opry.... there wasn’t a dry eye in the house ..... he had a hard time finishing the song.... I think he sings it as a way of moving on or a way of trying to heal something that can never be healed but you gotta keep going...... We are not ever prepared to bury are own... I know from personal experience...... such a powerful song ...tears my heart out

I just rewatched this and the line about "I cried and cried ... Til I passed out on the floor" and I had a sudden HARD flashback if my brother when his only son was killed at 13 by another kid playing with a gun. My brother is a Harley riding, Vietnam vet who is tough as nails and that's the only time in my life I ever saw him cry. I don't ever want to see pain like that again.

My heart has a void in it now that will never heal until I am back with my son.

Reminded me so much of Eric Clapton's song "Tears in Heaven", he wrote after his 4 year old boy fell 53 stories out an open window, that was in the process of being repaired. A close friend of mine lost his only two young boys to drowning. He never recovered and had a shortened life. Too many tragic events we have to deal with down here. Thanks Don for doing this song. 1st time I have seen the video for it.

@RockN2Country 4 года назад

@David Johnson I remember that so vividly when it was reported about Clapton's son falling out the window in NYC, pretty much in my back yard. I was in stunned shock at that, just as I am whenever someone loses a child.

Craig said in a radio interview that he wasn't putting this song out, so his friends did it for him. ( Blake & Gwen, Ellen DeGeneres etc) Craig also said he can barely make it through this song physically. Craig has another great video called - THIS AIN'T NOTHING. He addresses the issues you mentioned in this song. Not sure which song came first but they go together! What a voice!

@courtneykramer4679 4 года назад

Thank you for reacting to this. I saw a clip of this before it was ever released when he performed it for the first time on the Opry’s Instagram story (the same day as Luke Comb’s Opry induction) and immediately did everything I could do find the song. The studio version didn’t get released until months later. He later revealed that after performing it at the Opry for the first time, he say Ricky Skaggs backstage and said how he can’t put it out because he barely got through the song without breaking down, but Ricky said that he had to. I’m so grateful he did; I can’t imagine how many people this song has touched.

You have to have those moments of being along, talking to God, and keeping your child alive inside your heart at all times. Yes, the pain is very very real, but you have to find a way to go on, to keep living until the day comes when you do go home and are joined together again. And if you have other children, you have to be strong for them and keep them going in life. I love Craig Morgan!! and I love his music!!

He said that he went downstairs one night, wrote the song in 4 hours and it's done exactly the way it's was written without any changes whatsoever. God way of helping him heal.

Wikipedia: Craig Morgan Greer was born in Kingston Springs, Tennessee, on July 17, 1964.[1] He became an emergency medical technician at age 18. He served on active duty for nine and a half years in the US Army as a member of the 101st and 82nd Airborne Divisions and remained in the reserves for another six and a half years.[2 The reason the Grand-Ol Opgrand ole opry is memorable is Craig stands at the mic, shoulders back, hands curled, at attention at probably one of the most difficult times in his life to honor his son and placing his faith in God that some day there will be an understanding of why.

It doesn't get any more real then this

He never questioned God about Jerry's death. He has a deep faith. Watch his interviews. He and his family are amazing testimonies to how God can help you through something as tragic as the loss of a child or loved one. A side note: Jerry was adopted but that doesn't take away from the loss.

Great song. Heartbreaking song. One of my best friend's son committed suicide. I watched the pain and grief eat him and his wife up and couldn't do anything to help them.

The first time he performed this song live he stopped halfway and apologized to the crowd because he couldn't do it.

He lost his son about 3 years ago in a drowning accident so sad, but I love this song so much

You need to see the one when he does it live on the Kelly Clarkson show! Amazing

Hey Don, Nuff said.... Thanks... Keep RN2C BROTHER!!!

The video is amazing because of the song but you need to see one of the videos of him doing it live, The Grand Ole Opry or The Kelly Clarkson show

@waffles2927 4 года назад

This song brings a tear to my eye but you really have to understand the message and he didn’t understand it

@RockN2Country 4 года назад

@Waffles Oh, I understood it midway through the song. Initially he held back on some of the context and let the song develop, and by the time it was over it was perfectly clear what had happened to his and his wife's son.

@theresagluckhertz8064 4 года назад

His son was only 19 and they were so close

@oldmcdonald9582 4 года назад

another great song by him when he was younger was it gets crazy when a man cant get a woman off his mind a song written by bill anderson. he does on country family reunion. just type his name and the song. you wont regret it

@michellehammock3023 4 года назад

It's unnatural for a parent to bury a child, which is why we never plan for it, we pray against it, and if it happens it is equally as devestating as it was joyous when that child was born.

she had cancer a while ago and he wrote a song about how strong she was but she beat it

@teeman8999 4 года назад

Great reaction, so much emotion, can see and hear his pain. Enjoy your reaction videos. The best reviewer of country music closely followed by Kvok. Any chance of reacting to Anderson East - Cabinet Door.

@slvrangel22 3 года назад

This is not something I've experienced. But I imagine getting out of bed itself is a task. That much of the days and weeks following the loss are spent reliving thar day and contemplating the "if only's" all day long. I also see that in situations like this that a lot of respectable men will feel a sense of duty to be the rock for their wife no matter how deep the pain runs,

That’s because he knows the lord💝

@sheilasisk7550 25 дней назад

He sang this song after his 19 year old son drowned in a tubbing accident. 2 days before they could find him.

@JJ-uo8eo 4 года назад

Lot times he can't finish this song in concert. And I understand that. Hey if want to hear what happen to his son then go to Kelly Clarkson show. The interview and best friend Blake and how hard it was to sing it on there. It was so hard for him...
