My first love passed away when we were 25 and I think of him everytime I taste tequila, so I rarely drink anymore. This song hit me hard when it came out.
While Rascal Flatts is an awesome band & this song is a sublime tune, I knew when I first heard it on the radio, it was a 1 off-ers. Singers tone, pitch & beat here is a bit off from that of Gary LeVox. As a result, took me awhile to find out who sang this & what the song title was since the radio dj didn't name it at the time. Like the song, but the video is conflicting, especially at the beginning.
This song's "Wiki" file describes it as the pair separating because he (the deaf hiker) wanted to finish his journey alone. Dan + Shay included a deaf man in this video because they were so inspired by the actual hiker actor's (Nyle DiMarco) advocacy for the deaf community that they hoped to use their video as another platform for this cause. 💜
Just dropped them off at bwi airport, what a pleasure to meet them. Looked their name up on RU-vid to see, some of their songs and Wow! Amazing! You never know who your Uber passengers are.
absolute masterpiece. I grew up loving only R&B, Gospel, and soul. But then there are always masterpieces in other genres, even in Country too. Great arrangement
I grew up on motown and mostly "black" music but I ended up enjoying all genre's of music. I introduced my husband to country and rock and he's never looked back. He doesn't know that I know he has a favorite country radio station. 🥰
Love this song & songs like this! My base level of music is R&B but I like everything from Jazz, old school hip hop, country, rock, pop you name it. If it's a good song it's good music 🎶 😊 !
Born in Zimbabwe, Southern Africa... never listened to country music until I came to the US riding in a school bus driven by a country lady Kimi. Hated it at first and now I added country music to my collections including blues, raggae, chillstep, Lofi, hip-hop and dancehall rhythms. Now all I want to do is buy dirt, drive my Daddy's tractor and drink moonshine.
I know everyone's commenting that the guy will never actually hear the song cuz he's deaf in real life but deaf people can feel the vibrations of songs and they have favorite songs just an FYI 😌
I don’t think this guy is deaf in real life. Idk tho, I thought he was the guy who won America’s Top Model last season (maybe a few seasons ago? Idk if it got canceled lol) and has been in a lot of things staring deaf people but it’s not him.
He played in a another show called Switched at Birth. But you wait a long time to see him. Ps :) It's about how these girls got Switched at birth. And its all deaf people only like 8 hearing people. It has a lot of drama and love
So excited to see Nyle in this! I’m not deaf, but I have so much respect for the deaf community. My mom started teaching me sign language as a child and I’ve loved it ever since. So happy we’re including the deaf community in music videos. This is one of many reasons why y’all are my favorite music group. What a beautiful song and video. So much respect goes to y’all!
Hey, can you let us know what they say in the argument part of the video? I know some basic ASL but I didn't get the whole thing and there was no translation below. If you did that would be amazing!!
Jessica Rosario he tells her he has to go. She says it's not fair and asks what he's scared of. He says he can't settle down/stay in one place and he said that she already knew that was his way. He asks her to join him, but she can't.
Abi M, I know how to sign language I have been sign language a lot of stuff and I teach my sisters and my cousins how to do sign language. It's pretty amazing how I know things. Love learn sign language!!! I really love the video so much!!
I am Italian, and I'm an English teacher. I used this song together with the video for a learning activity based on speaking and with a focus on pronunciation.. needless saying my student absolutely loved it 🌞
Good old Colorado. Looks like a typical CO day-hiking in the snow and going to some random mountain town to get a drink or two after an exhausting excursion. I love the visuals-captures the Colorado life for sure!
Filmed in Breckenridge Colorado, hiking & driving scenes filmed off Tiger Road Breckenridge, The Cabin Is Located Off Main Street In Breckenridge Near The Base Of Peak 9 Breckenridge Ski Resort, & Bar & Town Scenes Filmed At The Moose Jaw Bar & Grill, & Main Street In Frisco Colorado.
This song means so much to me, because I relate to it almost 100%. " Iwas living in Breckinridge, (where this was filmed) acting at CEO for my grand fathers company. He had just passed away, and named me as CEO until they found someone else to take my place. I was 22, and I had no clue what I was doing. I flew out there, and purchased a cabin using some of my inheritance money. I traveled through Breckenridge that same day, driving through dirty snow and dead grass. I came into a bar, and met a beautiful blonds girl. Lauren. Although she wasn't deaf. I ordered a tequila, and so did she. We hit it off well, and we related on almost every subject that we spoke of. We ended up going on a few dates. I fell in love with her. She moved into my cabin with me, and we had separate rooms at first, but that later changed. At one point, we fell into an argument, and she exclaimed that I paid more attention to work than to her. (About four months had passed since I first there.) I told her she knew how much the company meant to me, which by this time I had decided to run it permanently. She didn't see the importance of my grand fathers company. I worked my butt off everyday to ensure the future of it. But unfortunately, she thought work was mote important than her. Let me step back two months. One night, it was cold, snowing. I broke out the tequila just as the clock hit 11 at night. We sipped our tequila, and I sat in my chair, and just stared at her. Her beauty, her eyes, her hair, her Oklahoma Sooners jersey. She looked amazing sitting there, and I knew it wasn't the alcohol making me stare at her. We spoke softly to each other, very tender. That's the night that concreted my love for her. To what I was saying earlier; She talked a lot about how she thought I loved work more than her. Another two months passed, and finally I broke. I told her I was leaving. I couldn't take it. Then I was too dumb to open my eyes to true love in front of me.. Right there. So, I left. I left her the cabin, and I purchased another one on the other side of Breckenridge. 3 years passed. I hasn't seen her, but I didn't forget about her. I sat one night, realizing how alone I was. I stepped out into the snow, and the cold gripped me tight. The cold even brought back memories. I decided I wanted tequila. It had been three years since I last had tequila. I drove to the all night bar, depressed. I missed her like crazy. I chose work over her, my Lauren. I sat down at the bar, and asked for tequila. A hand gently landed on my right hand. I slowly looked up, and there, in front of me, was Lauren. The love of my life. I chuckled, and she smiled, then I broke down. She cried with me. She poured me a glass of tequila, and first sip was all those first memories, and that night I remembered so well, the same night I knew I loved her, but was too blind to know the full extent. We ended up back together. Married. Going on two years now. We have one kid, Jessica. She was born December 11th, the same day me and Lauren met. Kids, life is complicated. Being rich isn't the most important thing in the world." With the one you love by your side, you are already the richest person in the world.
You' person who is listening and reading this comment, God bless you. You are not alone there are millions of people who want to see you well and I know how hard you have been trying to get out of bed and get ahead without giving up and I want to tell you, Christ Jesus, that I am proud of you and your effort!
Tears rolling, heart beaming... I'm loving this so much. Wish there we're more people who knew Sign..... May people learn sign and open the world up even more to the deaf and hard of hearing. :)
I found this song accidentally on Spotify and fell in love right away a couple months ago. When they sang it at the Grammys, I sang it too like a crazy girl. Now I just found the video and the story is perfect. I love how they potrayed and visualized it well. The song is perfect too. Hope to hear more from this duo
@@lanysmith1321 you don't know me so you can't say that. You should've be making assumptions about me or other people when you don't know their life. So you need to back up and check yourself. Everyone has their own opinions and you shouldn't be being mean to people online for saying what they believed
This song gets my every time. Reminds me of my ex husband.. no matter the bad there were many good and this songs got home for me everything. We always had a signature drink and he'd have it waiting for me on me bad days after work.. 3 years later, still hits hard.
There are football leagues for deaf people where a big drum is used in place of a whistle. That is where the football huddle first started, to hide what they were signing to each other on the team.
I wish everyone could understand the things being said in their argument. If you know sign language the things shared during that conversation make the song even deeper. She says it's not fair and asks him to tell her why he is scared. He replies that she doesn't know what has happened (in his life) up to now.
Tell and answer used to be two different signs. Tell can be declarative or can interrogatory. Answer me me is interrogatory. It also depends on local areas just like any language with it's different localities. Watch the Chinese Deaf Dancing Troupe that danced during the Olympics. You find that they are using either ASLor a version similar to the US
I'm from the UK and my co worker had smooth country radio station on at work, and this came on, and it's been stuck in my head all day. Sang with the heart this one. Much love from England.
I can listen to this song over and over... i love this song and the artists and what's more fitting for a winter's day and night video... TEQUILA OF COURSE
1st listened to this 2 yrs ago . I’m very deaf but hear and speak really well with my hearing aids. This song/video has I had inspired me to try and learn British Sign Language. 3 month a after a taster course I’ve decided to enrol on to study for a year for a basic level 1 exam. I now want to help others like I have been through in life …..
20 years ago...i watched the love of my life drive out of my drive way in her truck.....20 years later im here still waiting for her to walk into my bar.....be careful of what you let slip away people....
I don’t know if my ex will ever realise how important he was to me. Or how much i loved him. He let me slip away. I hope by the time he realises it won’t be too late.
I love the song and video equally! I love the actors they chose for this particular video. It is amazing that a scent,a smell,a drink,food and a house can bring you back to a particular memory.
This song just screams Colorado. The Rocky Mountains and how good it feels to be surrounded by the great views that state has almost everywhere. It screams memories wit my wife.....smiles all around...
Because of him, she makes an effort to learn sign language so she can speak to him every day and when he's gone, she then asks for the bartender job and works at the same bar where they had good times together just to wait for the day he comes back to her again. 4 years later, she still recognizes the man she loved. 4 years of waiting seems hurtful but it's worth the wait. All I can say is that this persistent love is as solid as the fragrance of tequila.
Cameron decker thanks for the reccomemdation! I enjoy seeing the crossovers in the world of Art. The set of music videos was really cool cant wait to see what Hunter puts out next
The Chris Stapleton Tennessee Whiskey vid from a couple years ago is also really good, as well as his video for Say Something with Justin Timberlake (which was recorded live making it really cool)
as mexican🇲🇽🇲🇽 let me tell you that I never listen to such a romantic song that talks about tequila🤣 all of them are always about partying and drunk🤣 thank you is beautiful
I can't imagine having to live in total silence not being able to hear a baby cry wristle of the wind someone telling you they love you for the first time even this beautiful song.... touching...
Yeah, or hear a bear or mountain lion running up behind you when your out hiking alone like in this video. Guess this guy never heard the expression, 'keep your head on a swivel', otherwise he would've seen these girls coming instead of allowing himself to be being surprised by them.
Thank you for recognizing the Deaf community my future daughter in law is Deaf I’m learning sign language god bless for this video it’s amazing and awesome
I love this song and when I first saw this video it made me want to cry because it had a great ending and they met up again!! Favorite song EVER!!😄😄 The 6 minutes of this video was worth the watch. Thank you Dan and Shay great song!!👍👍
As someone who prefers very heavy hardcore music. This is perfect, and never fails to bring a tear to my eyes as i listen over and over. This is my moms favorite song, so singing it with her compared to my usual of Knocked Loose, ETID or TAS. Always makes her happy, maybe its the fact i love good country along side 'demon music' of my usual but damn, this song is such a banger, plus being a colorado county born kid doesn't hurt.
I can't listen to this... Reminds me of my best friend of 15 years who abandon me and who reads every message I send spilling my heart out and she never respondes... Guess I deserve it
my parents are deaf. I have a a head set and I turn up the volume all the way up for them so they can feel the vibration. They tell me they can hear a little bit of it.
@@taylorroberts4364 they love it. My parents used to come to my concerts when I was in school. They always told me they can feel the music through the paper and their chairs.
Never tire of this…love to listen on repeat while watching the sun set behind beautiful Longs Peak Mountain, from the peace and comfort of my backyard....sigh. Much Love...from Colorado!
Ok Hollywood.......Let's turn this video into a movie....with the SAME people. I wanna know more of this story, and I want a happy ending...just too much sadness in my life...and the world.
Great song about addiction, and codependency. A lot of don't realize that this is what we live, until it's gone, and we taste "tequila ". Beautiful song❤
It’s haunting. How many of you have turned right when you should have turned left? It comes back around later in life. Hmm. I think that’s why so many find this song intriguing.
Dude...😔 this fucking hit me hard! Like I really wish I would've wnt left instead of right cuz now I'm sitting here regretting it all. Perfect way to word it! It hurts my heart tho for real!
@@1hunny51 oh how I wish it was... she left cuz of me... moved to a different state... and has already found another "great" guy... together for 8 years just to watch it all go away... but oh how I do wish, and pray, that one day our paths will cross again🙁!
@@BADGamer-fn9su Listen, my love, you never know just what God has in store for you! Been away from my child's father for pretty much 40yrs...married for 35, & with hubby for 38. But guess what, we found our way back to each other...after 38-40yrs, yep, you guessed it, we're going to try it again!😁💜 Sometimes, decisions that we make can take us on a path never intended for us in the first place. Go on with your life, as best you can. But ALWAYS keep your 👀 s & your ❤ open. God's timing isn't the same as ours! No one could EVER have made me believe that there would be a chance for restoration, but God!🙏 I appreciate your acknowledging your culpability...I pray for your true happiness, whether it is with her, or someone else. If it's truly meant to be, it will. #NoLimitations 💜💜💜
I'm moved by this beautiful gesture that only persons who are deaf know best. I hope there's a version that has the song in sign language too, asking too much maybe but that'd be pretty cool
I can still shut down a party I can hang with anybody I can drink whiskey and red wine Champagne all night Little Scotch on the rocks and I'm fine, I'm fine But when I taste tequila, baby I still see ya Cutting up the floor in a sorority t-shirt The same one you wore when we were Sky high in Colorado, your lips pressed against the bottle Swearing on a bible, baby, I'd never leave ya I remember how bad I need ya, when I taste Tequila When I taste Tequila I can kiss somebody brand new And not even think about you I can show up to the same bar Hear the same songs in my car Baby, your memory, it only hits me this hard When I taste Tequila, baby I still see ya Cutting up the floor in a sorority t-shirt The same one you wore when we were Sky high in Colorado, your lips pressed against the bottle Swearing on a bible, baby, I'd never leave ya I remember how bad I need ya, when I taste Tequila When I taste Tequila I ain't even drunk, I ain't even drunk And I'm thinking How I need your love, how I need your love Yeah, it sinks in When I taste Tequila, baby I still see ya Sorority t-shirt, the same one you wore when we were Sky high in Colorado, your lips pressed against the bottle Swearing on a bible, baby, I'd never leave ya I remember how bad I need ya, when I taste Tequila When I taste Tequila When I taste Tequila When I taste Tequila Deaf people should be able to hear this because it is so enchanting.
I'm just now discovering these 2 brilliant men and I wished I found them sooner! This song and the story in the video that goes along with it makes me want to know more about them! I'm a fan now for sure!! 💗💗💗
Love this song! It's the partial inspiration for my book that I am writing called The Sound of Love. Thanks Dan and Shay for this song, it tugged on the heart strings!
Megan Faye starting at 4:00 Nyle: I’m Sorry I need to go. Girl: No it’s not fair. Nyle: No I need to go. Let me go. Girl:What are you so scared of of? ..Answer me! Nyle: I can’t stay. I told you that from the beginning. Girl: mumbles something like I can’t believe you’re gonna leave me. Nyle: come with me Girl: It’s not fair
