FIRST TIME HEARING CRAIG MORGAN- THE FATHER, MY SON AND THE Holy Ghost (REACTION VIDEO) 

Hey guys. Craig's 19 year old son was away with friends on a river tubing trip and was drowned. Craig wrote this to help himself deal with it. He recorded it and then said he wasn't going to sing it again. A couple of his Nashville buddies told him he could help a lot of people with it. Then the audiences started asking for it at his concerts. So he started doing it again. I have seen him do it on several TV shows and also on the Grand Ole Opry. I have never seen him get through it without breaking down a little bit. In fact there is a video on RU-vid of him doing it at the Opry and the entire song the guys in his band are just watching him to make sure he is okay. That's family. Craig is quite a guy. He served I think 8 years in the army as a combat medic. After he got out him and one of his kids were driving somewhere and they drove by a house fire. He ran up to see if he could help. The FD wasn't there yet and someone said there were still people in the house. He went in and carried 2 people out. (Kids I think). He has another video you should check out. Great message for the times we are going through now. It's called "This ain't nothin'. Stay safe and well. Peace.

When he said “Uncle Sam,” he wasn’t talking about the IRS, he was talking about his time in the military.

Craig served "Uncle Sam" in the 82nd Airborne during Operation Desert Shield & Storm

9 years 101st Airbourne and 82nd Airborne. Trust me 1 day is hard enough but 9 years feels like a lifetime. How he did this song is the true definition of courage, faith and love.

His son died in a drowning accident he said he would never perform this song because he couldn't make it through without crying. Its a very sad situation.

One of the things that always strikes me about this is the first verse. I feel like he's saying the rest of the world has moved on but he just can't. He makes excuses to not go out then "turns the radio back on and sits back down". That's major depression. Just breaks my heart.

Craig’s son was 19 years old, he died by drowning. The episode of Kelly Clarkson’s talk show where he describes the incident and then sings the song. It’s HEART WRENCHING.

We lost our daughter in a car accident when she was 17...this song makes me cry every time I hear it...It's beautiful!💜

He did lose his son and wrote this sing after.

Crying..I know. I so know. Lost my little boy when he was 8 to cancer. I work up ambition every day for my 4 remaining children. All so amazing!! But I won't be home until I can embrace my hero.

Craig sings with emotion!!! Listen to his song, "This ain't nothin"! You will love it too!

Having a little one myself, I can’t even begin to imagine this kind of pain. Takes a very strong individual to put that emotion into a song. A very sad, but very beautiful tribute to his son.

You should watch him do this live on the Kelly Clarkson Show, it was heartbreaking

This song makes the tears flow..... I understand his pain. I lost my 3 youngest (ages 9 and 7 (twins) in 2013 in a housefire. The emptiness and heartache is ALWAYS there

To add another amazing quality to Craig & his wife....this son that he is referring to was a child that they adopted at a fairly young age. Gerry came home from college for the break and told his Mom that he broke his chain that he wore with the Saint Michael pendant on it and he would like to get a new chain bc he felt it's security. His Mom hadn't yet made it to the jewelry store to get a chain and now she holds some "what if" type guilt. Was so sad to see the pain in their faces as they gave that interview on one of the tv talk shows.

I worked for a woman looking after her horses and cows. She had a wretched old pool. My youngest son would go with me to work. He was not even three. I went to tell my employer I was done and she kept talking and talking. Found my boy floating in the pool, not breathing no heartbeat. I pulled him out, started working on him and God blessed me. He started making little sounds, I thought it was his body outgassing and he was gone but he started to breath, opened his eyes. The paramedics had a hard time finding us but after 45 minutes they arrived. Took us to the hospital. Nurses kept telling me I'd done everything right. All I could think was if I'd done every thing right we wouldn't be there. Spent the day in the NICU with my beautiful boy bouncing around, chattering and laughing. I apologized to the nurses for the ruckus, they told me it was wonderful to see a little one who was going to be OK. He's an engineer and engaged now. I thank God daily for letting me keep him.

Yes his son drowned. He woke up in the middle of night and God told him to write this song, half way through he was going to go back to bed but god told him to finish it. The first time he performed it was on the Grand Ole Opry . As he walked off the stage Ricky Skaggs was standing there and Craig said, I can perform that song again. Ricky told him he had to so he would help others. He contacted Blake Shelton and Blake started having it played everywhere even on Kelly who of course was crying. Blake showed up to surprise him. Was a beautiful sone, written by a beautiful man about a beautiful love between him and his son.

You should listen to his songs "Almost home" and "What i love about Sundays". Both are great songs.

Uncle Sam because he was in the Army, a song he has called “Paradise” explains it and is a great song

I lost my 4 year old son Adam Joseph..l I know exactly how he feels. You never get past it or get over it... You live with it forever!!!

That song gets to me every time. Can't get through it without crying. Such a beautiful and powerful song. I cant imagine that hurt.

Listen to "What I Love About Sunday", it's my favorite of his. I watched the version from the Kelly Clarkson Show, bawled the whole way through the song.

he did this song after his son passed so sad when i hear it but i like the song

YES it's a TRUE story... His 17 years old son died in a accidental drowning accident and he wrote this song immediately after, as a song of healing... THAT'S why it was so emotional... He was LITERALLY singing from his heart

Craig singing this live will have you crying. So beautiful and heartbreaking

He wrote this song about his son passing away. It's great because it's so honest and healing for others that have experienced that. I saw someone referenced his appearance on Kelly Clarkson, please watch that. It gives context. Thanks to the Patreon follower for recommending this and you guys covering this, and passing on the message

I remember when this was happening. I live in NC, right on the TN border, and we get TN news stations...it was all over the news, while search and rescue was looking for his son, then they called in the divers. It was awful to watch, and hear. I can't imagine. I've loved Craig's songs for years...and it hurt my heart to have this happen to him.

Happy to see y’all back! One of my favorite feel good songs from Craig Morgan is “Thats what I love about Sunday’s” I’m positive y’all will love it!

Good Vibes Bay Bay

Our son was in a fetal car accident Dec 11, 2019... love this song. “I know my boy ain’t here, but he ain’t gone” “Go outside and sit by myself but I’m not alone” “I won’t completely heal til I go home” ... Thank you Craig... 💙

Craig is such a humble man, he sings with heart and emotion, reason why I love him. Sing it Craig! BTW, check out his grand ole opry version! It'll give you chills!

He wrote this after his son drowned while tubeing in 2016.

His son passed away from a boating incident this song makes me tear up every time I hear it

His wife was likely wasn't sick, he just did not want to leave his house.

Loss of a child transcends all pain a parent can experience. It's not natural for a parent to bury a child. The love for a child is greater than any other emotion a person can feel. I was blessed to watch my son being born and I thank God every day he is with me. My wife had to bury her only child, my step son , at the young age of 24. This song especially the second verse is her. It's been 5 years and I have watched her in a pain that nothing can ease. It doesnt matter your sex, race, age whatever, love bonds all of us together and death may take the physical body but the memories are with us forever. Love your children, hold them tight and never take them or their lives for granted. You just never know what fate has in store. God bless you and your channel. Toodles

When I was a Soldier stationed at Fort Sill, Craig Morgan with Jason Aldean and Dirks Bentley performed a concert on the 4th of July for the troops. It was a part of the Army concert tour. Me and my friend Erin had been at the lake all day and missed the concert. Afterwards, we went to our favorite little hole in the wall bar called Guys & Dolls. After an hour or so, me Erin and one other person was in the bar, when about 15 people came in. It happened to be Jason Aldean, Dirks Bentley, some of their entourage and of course Craig Morgan. I sat closest to Jason Aldean and Craig sat on the opposite end. After exchanging pleasantries, Craig Morgan heard that I was in the Army and that we had served in the same unit once upon a time. They stayed for about 2 hours and me and Erin danced to their songs while they say at the bar, it was so surreal. Craig even bought me a shot of Jack. It was when we still had flip phones....it was amazing and he was such a down to earth guy

My husband worked the accident, I was there and bless his parents 🙏 ❤

This song is about his son passing away. I live close to the river where he died. Craig Morgan is an amazing country artist. I couldn't imagine losing one of my children. God bless him!

OMG!! I am so glad you did this video!!

I discovered your channel a few months ago. I end up going down the rabbit hole for hours watching your videos! Love them all. Craig Morgan Almost Home is another great song from the heart.

Craig Morgan is one of the strongest people in the music industry and I'm so glad he chose to share his talent with people. I couldn't imagine being able to pull myself back together enough to write and perform a song like this, it's a testament to his strength and character.

I appreciate you guys reacting to this video. Craig morgan did really lose his son in 2016, and he wrote this for him as well as himself to express his feelings.

Craig Morgan I was almost home... THAT is another great song by Craig

I love this song. He wrote it from the loss of his son. I cry every time I hear it! I love that y’all are listening to a lot of country music!! 💙💙💙

Craig's oldest son Gerry, 19 yrs old, drown in 2016. He has a hard time singing the song live.

Listen to Craig Morgan This ain't nothing.

Love y’all and I’m glad to be apart of the crew

New to your channel really love all the songs yall have went through. I have sit here all day watching and crying with yall . Yall are really doing a great job.

Hello Beautiful Couple..got tissues,OG,wine ..let's go!!!!💖💙

Y’all would love Craig’s songs: Almost Home What I love about Sunday

Just watched this video for the first time. 2 years ago it was and you were at 50k now your pushing 300k. Love you videos congratulations

His older songs are very emotional as well. He’s an amazing artist and all of his songs are very inspirational and amazing!! Luv watching y’all’s videos!!

Thank you so much for reacting to my recommendation! This is a true story and here’s a link to an interview where he talks a little about it ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ZcsDwCDrDN8.html. I first heard this song when Blake Shelton sent it out on Twitter. My son is in the military and I couldn’t help but imagine myself in the same situation one day and how this song would give me some comfort. The song just brings out a lot of emotion for me.

Y'all should react to, "This Ain't Nothin," by him. Great lesson in that song.

50K wow!! Congratulations Half and Jai!!

I'm really glad Craig had those friends who helped him and told him to share the song. I'm also very thankful for Blake for sharing it to his followers and even telling people to get the song higher than his on the charts, it was wonderful watching him push his fans to stream the song and get it to number one, it was very beautiful to see. It's an amazing song so I am very glad so many people got to witness his performance and hear his voice and his story.

You should see him do this on the Kelly Clarkson show. He did lose his beautiful boy. Jerry Greer. Look him up.

Just wanted to say, love your guys videos! Especially the reaction videos, cause it doesn't matter who the singer/artist us, or what genre they are in, its about the lyrics and the message of th song.. im the same way when it comes to listening to music, so again just wanted to say, love your guys videos and am definitely a fan! Keep it up yall!

I'm subscribed to dozens of.reaction channels... Y'all are my hands down favorite... GOOD VIBES BABY

I still cry when i hear this song just the thought of losing a child is heart breaking and you can see his pain when he sings that.

The story behind this song is heartbreaking. Takes a strong man to perform this 🙏. Can I just send some good vibes your way from S.C. I love watching you 2. You are an inspiration for all couples out there. Stsy safe, healthy and happy. 🥰👍🙏

That last note! The way he sang that “Holy Ghost”! That hits you in the chest!

Good review you'll!! Keep it up.

Craig Morgan is an amazing individual with some great music. My two favorites are "That's what I love about Sunday" and "Almost Home".

I know the story but had never seen the video or heard the aong. Tears coming down again. Xoxo love you Craig, you made it through the writing the song and performing the video..... love u half and jai!

You two make an absolutely beautiful couple. Your gentle spirits are so refreshing ❤️

Omg....I was thinking. Not a country song. This crushed me. Thank you. My goodness. True story. I’m sorry for his loss.

His voice is emotional when he sings it. Love it

Despite the aching heartbreak in this song, his faith and hope makes this beautiful. Craig Morgan always sings with his whole heart. I think that’s a big part of what I like about country music in general.

And seeing Craig perform this song live is even harder, he's such an amazing artist we've seen him a few times when he came to Alaska and performed on base, but truly a song no parent would ever want to write.

Craig Morgan is such a great guy. When I lived in Kentucky he came into my store bought a few things. Told me how great my store was and took pictures with all of us. It was so great meeting him and finding out how down to earth he is.

First time ever hearing this song or the artist really enjoyed it great reaction as always fam🎶🔥✌🙏

I’m new to this channel and I love y’all!

When hes speaking of Uncle Sam, hes speaking of the military. This man is a true hero for this country!!! Much respect!!!

love you guys ! this is my part of town the country hood!

He was woken in the middle of the night with words and music on his mind and got up and wrote it down. He said four hours later the song was done as it is heard today.

Happy New Year

I love what you're doing is awesome just found you on here

Yep. It's absolutely true. Watching him sing this live is heart wrenching.

Love watching you guys..Glad you all gave Country Music a shot. Just like you respect your wife ..take care of your family and believe God is in most songs

This song came out when I lost my son 7 days b4 he was suppose to be born and it hit me hard really hard bc right b4 this song came out I lost my son abt 2 months b4 and I ran straight to drinking and drugs and when I heard this song it brought me back to my real self and I thank God for this song thank u Craig Morgan for this song and thank God bc I know he had better plans for my son 😇 boy DADDY LOVES AND MISSES U EASTON WADE BASS

10 yrs since we lost our son and the pain never leaves you. You learn to survive with it because they would want you to.

You'll guys are awesome first time looking at you'll guys again ☺️ what can I say keep up with the good work

I’ve heard this song several times and I cried so much listening to it again. I lost my father a year ago. I am still grieving and will forever. My heart goes out to Craig Morgan. I hurt for him.

This is absolutely a true story. He lost his son in a tubing accident a couple of years ago. He did a live performance on the Kelly Clarkson show. It was beautiful and heart breaking.

You guys are so cute together. Jai, you are such a beautiful woman and I love watching you both react to all the great music. Keep up the great work and keep the good vibes going. Much love and God Bless.

Great reaction two wonderful people love your reactions

I lost my grandson over 10 years ago. It never really goes away. I miss him everyday as soon as I wake up. I love you kevin.

It heart touching and if you two were not on and reacting to songs and about things that are close to my ❤️ I would not be able to be so free 😂 with my heart and words. I am down right now but I know that I am not suppose to give up the good fight and I know that whatever is lost and broken can get fixed and I wish I was never born but I know that is a cop out so I truly don't want to ever be a mooch or not appreciate what I have done in my life and I know that failures are life experiences and rather anyone likes it or not I am not afraid of speaking mine or facing my mistakes. My life I am scares me from thinking that I deserve anything and that perhaps I am on my way out and was left to be forgotten.

Love you guys. Real people my people

100% real. His son passed away in a tubing accident at the age of 19. Craig sat up one night and wrote this song. He performed it live on the grand ol opery, i recommend watching that video. He swore that was the only time he would ever sing it live, but a fellow artist Ricky Skaggs told him no man you have to do that song, people out there need to hear this.

This song brings me to tears. It's so true and he's a true Military hero!!! He is a blessing from God. It's so true!!

Love you two!! What it do!!

Him penning the song is what truly made him heal. He was struggling greatly and could never get his feelings out. The one night, in the middle of the night, he said God told him to get up and write what he was dreaming, which eventually turned into this song. The live versions of this song are even better as you can see his emotion and see that it truly is a real thing.

Yes his son died and this song is Craig's dedication to him. Did you know Craig is also a Veteran? He has some excellent songs 👍

Yes he did,best song of the time it came out.I cryed and the faith was have to have to get thru is amazing

Versatile , down to earth. I really appreciate this channel. No awkward vibes. Non political. Just need this. Thank-you
