FIRST TIME HEARING Garth Brooks - The Dance *TEARS* 

This is one of the most beautiful songs ever written.

This was one of my wifes favorite Garth songs and it was our wedding song. When she was diagnosed with cancer I would sing this to her after her chemo treatments. The day after she passed I was driving home and this came on the radio, its like she knew I needed to hear it.

Thank you for the reaction and the beautiful message ❤My entire family is gone. I took time for granted. I would do anything to bring them back.

This is why he is one of the record breaking selling artists of all time. I saw him once and he was stomping the piano with his boots while singing. Sorry for your loss man.

This is probably the only song that I cannot make it through without crying. My condolences for the loss of your dad. I lost my dad in 2020 and just lost my big brother/only sibling in June. Grieve how you need to, man. Hope you’re doing well.

Thank you for the honest reaction and the love for my mother, still hurts but pushing on day by day. More requests on their way!

Be glad that you had parents worthy of your love. Not all of us had that kind of parents.

This is one of the best songs by garth brooks always loved this song..great reaction

Thx Rick. I'm from Oklahoma born n raised just like Garth. I've seen him in concert twice.. so special. He writes his own songs. A beautiful human !!

I had to tell my dad goodbye from video chat. The moment he took his last breath I screamed and cried, played this song on repeat and cried till my voice was gone. 4 years later it still brings me to tears. I miss him so much.

Lost my mom a little over a year ago. This is a beautiful song. Sorry for the loss of your dad. It’s hard. Much love.

Boy.. your in for a good cry. This was played at my dad's funeral. Still gets me.😂 sorry losing a dad is tough.

Hands down, my favorite song of all-time. I don’t care if it’s the first time or the one millionth time hearing it, I’ll always get chills on the back of my neck.

Sorry for your loss. This song is special b I lost my husband in 2011 after a long illness. Even with the pain we had a wonderful dance

Please don’t cry my Father passed away in June I celebrate his life his commitment to our country and his life everyday. Remember to celebrate his life not mourn his death. You are awesome love your reactions

Country music take your heart and soul it's the best music ever it's talks about live ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Love Garth Brooks!!! I stranded playing as a teenager black girl. My friends still think I’m nuts

My dad died from lung cancer on August 10, 1990. I was 22 years old. I could not listen to this song without crying. Still can't 34 years later.

Great song. He almost didn’t include it on his first album but has become one his best. Dedicated to Lane Frost back in ‘88.

This song gets me everytime too😢

I feel you man, let the tears flow 😢. You have the memories, no one can take them away, God bless.

i still remember the very last chance i got to spend with my grandpa..we always were fishing and the last time we got to go ,it was a cold nasty yucky day but it was still one of the best days of my life.he passed in 2008.I miss him every single day even now. anyone out there that still has a parent or grandparent,spend as much time as you can with them,you never know when you wont get that chance

MORE than enough to make a grown man cry, I get choked up every time I hear that song

This was my grandfathers favorite song and for a long time after he passed i couldnt hear it without crying

This song brings up some bad memories. They played it at the memorial ceremony in Iraq for a friend of mine who was killed.

May God bless you . I'm so sorry you lost your father . I know nothing I can say will ease the pain . The only thing that helps any at all is remembering one at a time the good memories that you have . I lost my husband of 40yrs when he fell asleep in his chair watching TV and never woke up . I curse, I scream, I cried until I couldn't hardly breath . It's been 7 years now and there's still a huge hole in my heart . But I still wouldn't have changed the thing . Lord but I LOVED THAT DANCE !!!!! ❤❤️💔💔💔

Remember your parents and those who helped raise you. I'm just days from 45 and the greatest memory I have of my father was when I was a wrestler as a freshman in high school. I won a conference championship against 7 seniors. When I turned around to walk off the mat, my father was running from the top row of the bleachers to meet my...with a damn dislocated hip...and gave me the biggest damn bearhug ever! This was over 25 years ago and the greatest memory of life. And it was of a man who was tough but made his boys tough.

20 years ago I met a girl. We had three months together. She showed me this song. I didn't know it then but that was the best time of my life. I was 20 and an idiot. I left her and moved to Texas. I came back a year later with the intentions of winning her back, getting a good job and proposing 6 months later. I showed up at her restaurant and asked to sit in her section. When she came out from around the bar I saw it ... She was about 6 months pregnant. I knew then that I had made the biggest mistake I could have ever made. I lost her 20 years ago. Last week I had a dream about her, first dream in a decade. I contacted her, we spoke for hours. She's divorced, she confessed to me that I was the love of her life and that she still loved me. That she had been waiting for me. It's the one thing I've wanted to hear for the last 2 decades.The only problem is I'm married and we have 2 young kids. Life is painful. I've been listening to this song for the last week and it hurts more every time. I feel like I've lost her all over again.

Scars in heaven by casting crowns … it is my comfort song after loosing my momma and little sister last year

He is an awesome artist ❤

So very sorry for your loss. I lost my Daddy a few years ago. I am still adjusting to my new normal. The song that always brings a smile to my face is by Alan Jackson ~ Drive (for Daddy Gene). Guaranteed to give you good vibes from your Dad. Take care and keep up the good work!

Music is incredible. I’ve been listening to this song my whole life but I bawled watching you hear it for the first time. 😢🥺💙

You really need to hear Diamond Rio, One More Day. I played it at my daughter's funeral.❤

This song I played at my dads funeral back in 2000 n this song reminds me of my dad n a very dear friend of mine who sang it at my cousins wedding

I love when he did this free concert in Central Park . He got emotional when the crowd sang back ❤

One of the greatest songs by Garth is: If Tomorrow Never Comes. You would love it.

Lost bothe my parents. I appreciate you for sharing your emotions. We as men have been told we're not supposed to show emotions so God bless

Great advice from a man much younger than me. Your so right about family all your people, much respect.

Your reactions are so real and heart felt, never be ashamed to cry for a loved one. RIP and my deepest condolences David. May the Lord wrap you in His Loving arms around You and Your family to comfort you and give You peace. God Bless

The original video that features clips of, "JFK, and Jackie" "John Wayne and his wife", "MLK and his wife", it's stunning. Idc for country, really. But when I first heard this song when it came out, tears fell without me even realizing them. Awesome video guys. Ty

Seriously you got me crying over here!!😢😢😢

These words are true if I knew on October 19 2023 my DAD would go to heaven peacefully yes I truly would go through the dance forever && ever 82 years was just not enough time for our families DANCE I miss him so much

This CD was one of the first CDs I ever owned, back when CDs were new. This song got me through several breakups, a relative's death, and some other hard times - and it's a beautiful song even without the message.

love you, Rick- sending you lots of healing energy! :). this song was my song for my dad when I lost him....

This song is amazing. It’s one that we played at my dad’s memorial in 2008. I’m the technology expert in my family, so they got me to scan all of his photos and set them to music. Another good one to check out would be “If I had only known” by Reba McEntite.

Legend Garth brooks

in the Official Video he pays Tribute to a lot of Great People who have passed on, Lane Frost (Bull Rider), Keith Whitley (Country Singer), Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. (Baptist Minister), The crew of the Space Shuttle Challenger, John F. Kennedy (35th President of The USA) and John Wayne (American Actor) I also love how at the beginning he tells you what the song is about it also has Images woven in of those mentioned above! ☺

My absolute favorite by Garth and he's got such awesome songs

The love of my life was killed in Iraq. One of my last memories with him was us going to a dance together. I can’t listen to this song without just absolutely losing it. “I could have missed the pain, but I’d a have to miss the dance”

We played this at my brother's funeral. I grew up listening to Garth with my dad.

Best reaction I have ever seen. I appreciate your feelings and I agree this song brings me to tears too. Keep the faith. Thanks for sharing

God bless you brother!! Never apologize for showing your emotions they are an important part of what has made you the man you are today

Such emotion that comes up. Truly awesome. Thanks for showing and not pretending.

This song was played in my sister's funeral it was one of her favourit song,everytime i hear this tears coming.

Did you know this song is taken as love song? It is written about a bull rider who was famous. Lane Frost, its about the last ride he ever did.

My dads favorite song, he passed away in 2007 when i was 17, i got the privilege to see Garth play a few years ago and i straight balled my eyes out singing along when he played this 🔥🖤 sorry for your loss fam 🙏

Prayers brother for you and your family…your father is in Heaven I’m sure Prayers, Lo

I cried with you. May your father rest in peace.

Originally written by Tony Arata in 1986 and Garth picked it up in 1989

This is his best song in my opinion!! Gets me every time ❤😢 Happy 4th of July 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Love this song

This is probably my favorite song of Garth's. If you liked it and want to listen to another song of his. Here is one some people may not have heard. It is a bit different. There was a tribute album for kiss years ago. Garth did the song Hard Luck Woman. I liked it and hope you and your rans will too.

Big hug, my dad passed nearly 10 years and the anniversary is coming up. Nothing I say at this point heals. But know Lightning Crashes and Thunder Rolls, there are always friends who may not have same sitch but will understand!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Lve u bro

There is an amazing video that is a tribute to our troops with this song, Texas foy is the person that did it, anyone reading the comments should check it out he did and amazing job.

Great reaction. A few other Tear making songs - David Ball _ Riding With Private Malone : Bobby Goldsboro _ Honey : Holly Dunn _ Daddys Hands : Steve Wariner _ Two Teardrops are very powerful emotion envoking like this song is.

Much love brotha. You are a wonderful person with a heart of gold. We all love when u react with bubbles. RIP RICK SR ❤❤❤❤❤🙏 🙏 🙏 🙏 LOVE U GUYS BRO.

Great memories are definitely worth the risk. You can’t be sure ever

You have helped us in times you never knew. So we got to help hold you up in prayers

If you liked Garth Brooks "The Dance" you should listen to Garth Brooks "Standing outside the fire" this also is a song about living in the moment.

I'm glad you show men do cry show boy that not bad thing

Sorry about your dad, god bless!

Sorry to hear about your loss. May he R.I.P. I LOST A BROTHER AND SISTER WITH IN A YEARS TIME. LAST INFACT. MAY GOD BLESS YOU MY MAN.

God bless you both❤

@garthbrooks God Bless you all❤

This song is probably Garth's best. It's also much more meaningful with the original and official music video. It shows people like those on the doomed space shuttle Challenger, Martin Luther King and his wife and child, JFK with his family, John Wayne, Keith Whitley and his wife Lorrie Morgan, and pro-rodeoer Lane Frost. They all could have missed the pain, we all could have, but we'd all miss the enjoyment, the depth, the accomplishments, and the ups and downs that came from those few lives, as well as in our own lives with those we've loved that aren't with us today. It's a great song to remind us that our best moments are the ones we have now, and to cherish our time here with our loved ones, because we don't know how things would go if the dance was without us or our loved ones. I think this and "If Tomorrow Never Comes" are probably the best and most meaningful songs Garth Brooks has ever made. One thing about Garth Brooks, his producer was Allan Reynolds. Allan Reynolds only does one or two takes of a song, and doesn't over-produce songs like they do commonly today. He wanted Garth to put his all into it and hold nothing back. This is particularly evident on his first 3 albums which I think were all produced by Reynolds. So what you hear was pretty much a one take song, with full heart and soul into it, and it has become a top tier country song for over 3 decades and a #1 song. That speaks to the talent of the artist and the songwriter, but also the genuineness of both Garth and the songwriter of "The Dance", Tony Aratta. That piano instrumental kills me every time.

I'm so very sorry about your loss 🙏

Rickk everytime u cry, I cry

Much love to you kind sir.... Keep the faith and stay strong.

you didn't have to drop tears bro. I gotcha.

I lost both of my parents in a car accident while they were traveling and trying to get back home in 2000. I am so sorry for your loss. My prayers, thoughts and love are with you and your family.

Sending love back to you. We have all been there.

Condolences...Great song ... great reaction...God bless

Glad you got to check this out. Here's to hoping you don't have any issues leaving this beautiful reaction up. Garth Brooks is notoriously difficult for reactors because he loves to hand out copyright strikes.

I just started following your channel I loved that song 👏👏👏I lossed my daughter but it’s been the hardest thing I have done in my 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 life god bless you!!

Lost both parents and I'm so glad I came across your channel.. Means alot to me. Keeps me goinf

OOOh...this song a couple of weeks after that? Rick, this is gonna be ROUGH. 💙

This song means so much to me. Thank you for reacting to it. God bless… 🙏🏼🥰❤️

This song is amazing. You should see the music video that goes with it.

Beautiful reaction! Garth is just special 🫶🏻

You need to find the original music video to this song. It is one of the best videos ever made. It spotlights JFK, Martin Luther King Jr., John Wayne & Lane Frost. It's just such a beautiful tribute video to them.

Sending prayers your way. I lost my mother when I was 20. I'm 63 now. Then I lost my sister in law. Then I lost my dad in 2007 and lost my only sibling, my brother less than a year after losing my dad. God bless you. I feel what you're going through.💜

What true reaction Loss is such a personal thing and it is the memories (the dance).

I'm so sorry for your loss...I know that pain, but also agree with the lyrics of this song. The dance of life is worth the inevitable pain that must come with it.

Here to support your channel but HOGFAMILY FOR LIFE. Love you my guy

My friend Texas songwriter Aaron Watson lost a daughter, and he wrote a song called Bluebonnets (Julia's Song). You just said it, we are only hear for a little time. Long gone like bluebonnets in the spring We're only here for a little while It's beautiful and bittersweet So make the most of every mile So pack light and love heavy Give it all your heart and soul So in the end you won't regret one thing Life is like bluebonnets in the spring

My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. I am so sad to hear about the loss of your father. Thanks for the reaction!

Listen to The Thunder Rolls by him... be ready steady.

Love the song, ❤ The river is good as well

I love you two❤🙏🏻
