I'm hearing this for the first time at 26 years old. This cuts deep to the heart, which is unlike the modern trash that is somehow popular today. Songs like this make you reflect on your life and how you came to where you are now.
@MatthewCastello You’re welcome, Matthew! I actually need to upload more of Whitley’s concert at Gilley’s now that I think about it. Glad you like them.
@@jamesireland4960 Thanks, James! I stumbled across this song in November 2022 when I was getting over a girl who ended it with me. She was polite and let me down easy after only going on a few dates. I connected with her so well and was enthusiastic seeing her that I was crushed when she broke it to me. I found someone else after her and am doing much better!
Yup, he knocked it out of the park 3 decades ago. I cover this after my initial set of rock n roll, brings the house down, everytime! They never see my redneck roots till the steel guitar comes out, and a few hillbillies always know what is coming. It's either this song or Angel eyes by Jeff Healey.
Been there. Done that. Back in 1971 I was in Pasadena, and my girlfriend was in the middle of breaking up with me. She and I and her new boyfriend went to Pasadena for the Rose Bowl. New Year's Eve we went our separate ways, I wandered the streets and ended up at a church that was having a New Year's Eve party. And there they were. Lovingly looking at each other. The wedding scene at the end where his love made eye contact and had a sorrowful look on her face was exactly what happened with me. My soon-to-be ex-girlfriend caught my eye and had that exact same look. I lived this entire song. But there is a happy ending. Several months later I met a gorgeous and Godly woman, we married a couple of years later, and have now been married 43 wonderful years. The girlfriend who dumped me married pretty boy, but their marriage only lasted a couple of years. She looked me up and tried to reconnect, but by then I was happily married and had moved on. Here's my lovely bride of 45 years. Sadly she passed away suddenly in January. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-N9EnBUHqsFk.html&hd=1
@@tracelovessarah2095 You know, Pied Piper, I sorta feel sorry for you. If you think the story in this song is funny, it tells me that you have never experienced a relationship that was deep enough to have led to this kind of heartbreak once the relationship ended. I'm guessing that your relationships have all been very shallow, and when they ended you just shrugged it off and moved on to your next conquest. What a sad existence.
When you actually feel this. Man i cant explain it. Its gut wrenching. Losing the one you want to spend the rest of your life with. Losing the kids. Losing yourself in the process. God help me
This is pure country. It takes me back to my first love been 30 years and I still love that blue eyed blonde girl I still see her everywhere I go. I've been all over the world and that little gal still makes my heart ache. But it wasn't meant to be.
I know it's just a song, buy no one on this earth is worth going to hell for. Don't take your life over another person. You will find who you were really meant to be with and it will be worth the wait.
This isls real life. And talent. I'm not a snowflake ... At least I don't think I am , But this song should really come with a trigger warning. It's a work of art with a powerful message that some people may not be able to handle.
Doug Stone is one of the nicest performers a fan could ever meet. He performed at my county fair back in 2003. After the show, he had a meet and greet. He even let my sister and her brother in law hang out with him in his tour bus. My dad still has his autographed picture on his dresser. Thank you, Doug for everything you do for your fans, and the impact you had on country music !!!
This is REAL country! Damn i had a giod childhood now 33 years old and im still listening to this! Im glad ive introduced my kids to REAL music as well and now they can pass it down!
I can't help but think about my first wife when I hear this song. She left me several years ago for someone else. I loved her so much and I guess I still do to a certain extent but I have a wonderful wife now that I love and cherish with all my heart and soul
Doug Stone just hits different. Remember driving to school and this coming on the radio. Coming home from the farm tonight and this song just came on through my RU-vid mix. Brought back memories. I drove quietly thinking about how simple the 90s were. Dammit I miss the 90s country.!!! I can't be the only one
Ok and chris Stapleton might be one of the FEW good artists nowadays. Everything else but a FEW are complete shit, and if you disagree then you need to take it back a few years and learn what REAL country is. Have a great day🙂
And even chris Stapleton's music doesnt have that old sound to it. I wanna hear the cry of an ole steel guitar and not just a snare beat🤦♀️98% of today's music is shit.
You think so? Well I went to prison. Was 17 when I went behind the wall. I'm 45 now. My wife of 12 yrs, The one that allowed me to raise her children is thinking about divorce. I'd rather face killers and rapists than divorce!!!
I still remember when this came out in 1990....and it hit's just as hard as it did back then. Lost love. The bitterness of unrequited love. The feeling of being alone and tossed aside. Time heals and abates those memories.....but this song lingers and paints a pale picture of what could've been.
I saw Doug Stone in Nashville in 1990, the usa was engaged in the gulf War or close to it,people requested this song and he wouldn't sing it. Doug Stone. Great song.
I started listening to #BrianFennell #SYML It’s not Country, but he sings about Real things with emotional depth. There’s more to life, than trucks, beer, whiskey 🥃 and hotel keys 🔑 Even tho, yes I do love FGL and Old Dominion💖
No matter how old or young when this song plays the tears roll this is real country something that's slipping away now fake voice play that's not real country when u gotta use things to change your voice keep the old new
It took decades, when I would hear this song it would break me. Right to my knees. Now I can sing it in any smokey bar and have a happy evening. I guess I grew up!
I sang this song at Charlie's Low country in Myrtle Beach SC in 1989 had just got out of prison to hear a free crowd for the first time in 12 years and incredible feeling
I’m a big Doug Stone fan, I went to a concert with him and Mark Chestnut on the hill of Nashville’s amphitheater years ago. Tracy Lawrence made a surprise visit also.
Man you’re walking down the road and randomly encounter the wedding of your love the precise moment they walk out. I’ve got bad luck but damn , that takes the cake !
I'd say that hurt. I hope your ok pal. That sounds like my luck. Let her go and let yourself be free. It could be worse you could have had a kid with her and have your little girl telling you how many men her mammy is sleeping with. At least you'd no kids from her. I'd have moved on straight away only for my daughter now I'm watching and hearing about my ex partner from all kinds. The girl is a train wreck but acts like she's not. Keep on moving buddy you haven't met the right person yet that's all even if you think you had the right one you didn't. It is a killer though. Some have a heart some just don't. It's when they get older they'll think damn I should've stayed. This generation is sick.
I would rather go to heaven and face Jesus than too lye here with you and him together on my mind. Me and my wife have been together since we were 14 we are now 48, 34 years we've been together and I'm a very blessed man. God the Holy Sperit and Jesus and family and America First.
This is true country music. Not the trash that the play now. I quit listening to country all together now, except when I can hear actual country music such as this. The 'country' of today is pure garbage, and not worth polluting the airways.
This is real country music. I can relate to this. Listened to it multiple times a day. When I was going through my break up with my ex girlfriend Taylor. And come to find out. She was cheating on me. Month and half later. She posted a photo of her new boyfriend. So she was talking to him while she was with me. And I still do. Love this song. Thank You Doug Stone!
Yeah, sad song. Some, me, just need to go ahead and blow friggin brains out and be done with never-ending misery. At some point have to accept that it will never end until this life ends. God forgives but He will not stop the suffering caused by the past sins!!!!
What the hell ever happened to Doug Stone, he was top of the charts, then gone ! We need more singers like this. I can't believe there are 625 dislikes. Give your head a shake people.
I knew Doug. My ex use to live and play music with Doug. They grew up in Atlanta. He did have a great voice but he got a big head once he made it big in Nashville, started telling his management what he would or wouldn't do so they withdrew their contract and Doug was pretty much banned from Nashville. BTW his birth name was Doug Brooks.
@@dcraven1120 that’s a very colorful story you’ve told there girl! Doug came off the road due to health reasons. He has continued to tour and release records on his own terms. www.dougstone.com
I still get goose bumps listening to this song! It's one of those songs I think everyone can relate to. I think we've all been in a situation where we got our heart broken and thought for sure we would rather die than be without them.
Being at the end stage of the empty nest phase of this so called thing we call LIFE...I think sunglasses should be an acceptable accessory and mandatory for the some of us. God bless you makers of concealer! Dup!
Best country singers front the 80s and 90s in my opinion Randy Travis, Alan Jackson, Doug Stone, George Strait, Garth Brooks, joe diffe, Tracy Lawrence etc, I know I missed a lot of them but place some I missed
I was born and raised in New Jersey and I was always a country fan. Well, Doug Stone came to New Jersey back in 1994 and I drove over to the concert hall in Union, New Jersey. I bought the ticket with a credit card over the phone. It cheered me up as I had just lost a job before I went to the concert. Thank you Doug
Music is the eye to the soul. It is humbling to witness a human being with the gift of using his or her voice to get me in touch with my soul in such an emotional and down to earth manner.
Good way to start off the morning at 5:15am. Sounds even better right when waking up. Met him in person at a little concert he done at a shrimp festival. Doug Stone is the man. God bless.
Still is a great song and singer. The 90's were good years for great country music. Not the trash they call country in 2023. I'm still listening Christmas Day, 2023.
If I had a pretty girl by me I'll be happy not even Donnie I'm 48 years old and I have a mind of a 5-year-old I am permanently disabled and blind it's not it's not very good😢
From Doug's 1990 debute album, they don't make Country music like this anymore, now this is real Country music. Mint, cheers Doug, and thanks for the great memories !!
There's just something about that gospel sound in what we know as real country music now, that can shut a whole crowd up from what they're doing and sing together ❤
