Most folks don't understand what it's like to be 18-19 years old and having to think about this kind of thing. Metal / Rock fans react to Tim McGraw's If you're Reading This and Jack Daniels Single Barrel Barrel Proof Rye

Raw emotion by the guy on the right with the gray shirt). I love how he just sat and took in all the words and didn't really want the song to be paused. Nothing better than raw emotions, it proves that we are all human.
You're right. This is a powerful song. Tim McGraw actually debuted this song at an award show. And it shocked everyone with the emotion and power. It was a huge moment.
Gentlemen- there must be something in the air, cuz it’s affecting this vodka sipping grandma’s eyes too. As the daughter, auntie, niece and godmother of Marines, and soldiers… I Thank you for playing this song… I’m an old school Rocker, but there’s something about Country music that can tear you up like nothing else.! Semper Fi
USMC Veteran here. I was part of the Honor Guard to two fellow Marines, and was the one who presented the folded flag to Momma at Papa's Ceremony. I cannot hear this song w/o crying. Only the dead know the end of war. Not my words, but anyone that has ever Served, lost their lives or were maimed know the truth of them. Thank you for taking the time to share your reaction to the amazing Song and tribute.
NO WAY!?! Hahah, when I was a kid, I'd slap my glove on my thigh while watching the signals from the catcher, emulating Tug. For me, he was among the greats. Him, Nolan Ryan. Phil Niekro. - Keith
@@BourbonCountryReacts very true, it's a very well known fact about tim among country fans though he doesn't talk about it. even the song he made for his dad, "Live Like You Were Dying" doesn't say a name.
It’s hard not to shed a tear with this song. God blessed me by sending my son home both tours he did over there but so many didn’t make it back. Bless the men and women who didn’t and I thank all who served to make life over here more safe for us.
I’m so glad your son made it back. My boy went into the Marines right out of high school in 2002 and eight months later (February) he was sitting in Kuwait waiting for orders to go into Iraq. We prayed for him and the others day in and day out and thank God he made it back safely. One of his buddies, Josh, wasn’t so lucky💔. This song is impossible to hear without crying. Hope your son is doing well ❤️❤️
My twin with the same name 😁❤ how do I prepare myself, my kids dad and our family for this? Our 2nd to youngest told my youngest daughter a few months ago in which she told me after. It didn't hit me til after our son told his dad last month and I saw he worry in his eyes. I know I told him after I found out but he has selective hearing and we just lost our home and had to split our family apart by having the younger boys go stay with their mom. (Kids dad was a single dad of his last 3 kids. We just got back together 2 yrs ago after 22 yrs). Sorry I went all over on this comment. I am the parent that loves that our kids want their own space to grow but deep inside I wanna keep all 6 kids home or at least neighbors. Daddy is the type that he rather all our kids live at home forever. So it hit him kinda hard.
This is the most beautiful song Tim ever sang but no matter how many times I hear it I get all tore up! Thank you to all the men and women that have served to protect our freedom. I appreciate you more than I can say
I worked with Gold Star families for 15 years. So many songs the families asked for at our ceremonies were like this and I can never not cry when I hear any of them. Thank you for caring so much.
Dustin (??), I watched your face the entire time. I’ve seen your reaction to some of the other songs that you’ve reacted to about domestic violence and children being abused and I can tell the kind of man that you are. More importantly, I’m guessing you have fought for our country. I watched your face and it touched my heart. My grandfather was in 3 wars. He was in the 82nd airborne and when his knees gave out he went into the Air Force. The Warriors didn’t kill him but the alcohol did. I remember growing up and us being told that we couldn’t touch my grandpa when he was sleeping because he could kill us. I can’t even imagine what it’s like to be the wife of a military man. God bless you both for doing these reactions. I know you’ve had a hard time with some of the first ones you’re doing because they tugged at y’all’s heart. Let me assure you that I appreciate you doing this songs.
Y'all. I gotta tell you Keith, sir: thank you from the absolute depths of my soul for your service. I wanted to be a Marine for as long as I can remember. I have a disability and couldn't serve. There was a recruiter that came to my high school when I was a senior. I told him I knew what would happen to me because of my disability and I didn't care. I just wanted to serve. I thought if I was put in front of somebody else that that might be one less mama's son coming home in a box. Please let me know if you ever come to MN so I can buy you a drink. God bless.
Keith, my heart hurt for you while watching your reaction. You were so lost in the song. I could see you fighting the emotion. Watching you made this song even more emotional.
I'm glad you finally did a Tim McGraw song. Another great Tim McGraw song is "Humble and Kind" or one that he did with his wife Country Legend Faith Hill is "Speak To a Girl" that would be a really good song from the 2 of them for you to react to. Still waiting for you to react to a Brad Paisley song, a couple great ones are: "He Didn't Have To Be", "I'm Gonna Miss Her", "Whiskey Lullabye" which is a duet with Allison Kraus, or "When I Get Where I'm Going" which is a duet with Dolly Parton.
We'll add those to the list if they're not already. And for the record, I'm looking forward to some Brad Paisley myself. I have high expectations there.
I went to a Tim McGraw concert while my husband was deployed to Iraq. Yeah. Spent this song in the bathroom, bawling my eyes out. He made it home, but a lot didn’t. Hard to listen to, but important still the samel
The little girl part gets me every time. I was never in the military the rest of my family was though if I can go back in time I would’ve done so many things differently but I really think all of y’all that have served and sacrificed everything for us🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼❤️
Talked to my Son yesterday. He is a Sargent first class in an Artillery Unit. They are in the California Desert for a Month having War Games. I could tell how upset he was about Afghanistan . He did Three tours over there. One in Baghdad, also Kandahar and Kabul. He was so Proud of what he did over there. We used to send Pencils, Pens, Coloring books and Crayons 🖍. It was him and his Men’s Honor to give them to the Children. I also have a Son in the Navy he’s a Chief Warrent Officer. He did the same things while on the Four ships traveling the World. The thing that pisses them off the Most is all the Time spent training Afgans to defend themselves, and they Just gave up. I told them both their deeds done for their Country is and will always be Appreciated by their families, Friends and their Country 🇺🇸. It’s our Responsibility to let all who served know we are all Proud of them. God Bless from Oregon ✌🏼☮️😎
Kathy here - just found this one you did several years ago. I cried right along with you. My son was 18 when he swore his Oath to this Country and joined the Marine Corp. He and our family were very lucky, that he went on 2 deployments, came home safe and sound. Out of the Marines for 5 years now, doing well in the work force, married and 3 little girls. But yes, this was a very powerful song. I cry every time I watch or hear this song.
John Michael Montgomery's Letters From Home is the one that always got me. My Daddy would send me a box every week when I was deployed and make sure it was full of goodies for my troops and I. He would write long detailed letters of everything he'd done that week and always end it with a kicker so deep and sweet it would make me wanna cry. Country music has wonderful storytelling. Love your reactions.
A lot of people think this song debuted on an awards show but he debuted it at a fundraiser for families of fallen soldiers with many of the families present. The audience cheers/cries you hear are from them.
Tim McGraw is one of the greatest singers out there! He’s married to Faith Hill and they have been together for a long time with 3 adult daughters. He grew up not knowing his father, who turned out to be Phillies great pitcher Tug McGraw, they connected (and they are identical). Tim is AMAZING in concert!
@@BourbonCountryReacts yes please react to it. Brand new subscriber here. Don't know why you were in my recommendations but I'm glad you were because I can't stop binge watching you guys. ❤️
Whoo whooo I can't with the reaction I've heard this alot but never felt it that hard thanks for your service ❤️ and thank you to all our military men and women who risked not just physical life but the life you could and should have .....wow great song great reaction 👌 ❤❤✌️
It would be nice to see you react to some Female Country singers, Carrie Underwood "Before He Cheats" or "Something In The Water" or "The Champion". Miranda Lambert, "Vice" or "The House That Built Me". Marin Morris, "My Church" or "I Could Use a Love Song". Martina McBride, "Concrete Angel" or "Anyway" or "i'm Gonna Love You Through It". Allison Kraus, "The Lucky One" or "When You Say Nothing At All".
Check our channel. ru-vid.com/show-UCjVNG9dOrAx7BsfG8osyVjAvideos We've reacted to Martina, Reba, and Miranda so far. And we'll add all these to our list. "Concrete Angel" has had a *lot* of requests. Also, I've heard Allison Kraus's bluegrass, and I'm a fan already.
I agree! More female music! Loretta Lynn “Fist City” “Coal Miners Daughter” The Pill” “You Ain’t Woman Enough (To Take My Man)” Skeeter Davis “The End Of The Road” EmmyLou Harris “Angel From Montgomery” “Band Of Angels “ “Two More Bottles Of Wine” “Blue Kentucky Girl “ Carrie Underwood “Blown Away” “Before He Cheats” Two Black Cadillacs” Pistol Annies (with Miranda Lambert) “Takin Pills” “Hush Hush” “ “Hell On Heels” Patsy Cline “Crazy” “Sweet Dreams” “She’s Got You” “Walking After Midnight” “I Fall To Pieces” “Leavin On Your Mind” Rita Coolidge “Loving Arms” “(Your Love Has Lifted Me) Higher and Higher” Bonnie Raitt “Thing Called Love” “Have A Heart” “Runaway” “Love Me Like A Man” “Mighty Tight Woman” “Burnin Down The House” (live) “Bluebird” “Nick Of Time””Guilty” Kacey Musgrave “Rainbow” “Blowin’ Smoke” “Merry Go Round” “High Horse” “Butterflies” Kitty Wells “It Wasn’t God Who Made Honky Tonk Angels” “Making Believe” Dolly Parton “Coat Of Many Colors” “I Will Always Love You” “Jolene” “9 To 5” “Islands In The Stream” with Kenny Rogers” “Rockin Years” “Backwoods Barbie” “My Tennessee Mountain Home” Linda Ronstadt “Blue Bayou” “La Cherreada” “Long, Long Time” “High Sierra” with Dolly Parton and EmmyLou Harris “Desperado” Just a few suggestions. I’m sure I can think of more 😂😎☮️ ThAnks for the fun reactions. I’m checking out a local bourbon made in Higbee, Missouri. It’s about as big as it sounds 😂. They have a small distillery so I’ll check out the Woodsman Elk Creek Bourbon. They also have a Pecan Whiskey that’s aged three years in pecan barrels that they manufacture themselves. I’ll let y’all know what I find out. 😎☮️🎸
I literally can’t listen to this song I start balling. Especially since we just lost 13 American service members in Afghanistan. I cry when I see them on tv And somehow I still really want to be an Army ranger as a career.
I was once told: war is a place where young man, who dont know or hate eachother, are fighting and killing for older man, who do know each other and only feel hate towards another, who are not fighting with arms at all..... warm hug from a stranger from the Netherlands
And at the end, when they lit the stage behind him and showed all those gold star families.... oh man, how in the world Tim got through that performance without breaking down.... wow
With everything going on right now I feel this song even more. My husband served in the marines after 9/11. He went to Iraq and I know he's feeling like a lot of men right now. They lost so many and people are feeling "for what" it's just an emotional time.
I'm glad I found one of your older videos. I 100% enjoy all your reactions but this is my favorite. Thank you for sharing raw emotions and letting us experience the story with you. ❤️
My preferred drink since 1977. . My husband was a Tennessee Whiskey Man too. He bought a one square foot of land at the distillery. Lol. We were married 31 years when he passed away. He is still my soul mate.
In my opinion, since 9/11, Country music has had a lot more military themes. I’m sure it’s because country music has a tendency of being very patriotic. There’s lots more out there guys!
First, thank you so much for your service. My step son was injured in gulf War, my dad and a brother served. My oldest brother when passing, he and his wife will be interned at Arlington. Great song reaction!
This song has such a powerful message. Thanks for doing this one. My favorite songs from the great Tim McGraw are When She Wakes Up, One of These Days, Just To See You Smile, Don't Take the Girl, Can’t Be Really Gone, I Do But I Don’t, Angry All the Time, Grown Men Don’t Cry, Back When, My Little Girl, Everywhere, You Had To Be There, Humble and Kind, and If You’re Reading This.
I recommend to you from Luke Bryan : - Country Man - Most People are good - take my drunk ass home - play it again - Move - that's my kind of night and - built me a daddy Thank you for your videos they always make my day. Greetings from Germany 😊
I flew attack helicopters in Iraq and have lost friends in the service...the fact that many so-called actors and sports stars kneel during our national anthem disgusts me...thank you for your reaction... I will never live on my knees...and I don’t apologize for my tears shed...
@@BourbonCountryReacts exactly. This is why I try to be open to all types of music. Am new to your channel really enjoy watching your reactions and listening to your opinions.
I remember when he preformed this on whatever show he played it on. I was weeping in my living room, everyone in the audience was sobbing. He never played it before that moment and he never released it as far as I know so it caught people off guard.
Omg when you broke down so did I, my husband was a Vietnam veteran, I lost him 9 years ago 😢 songs like this get me every time, I'm sorry for your pain my friend 💔 😢
A couple of his other song that are feel good songs are “Live Like You We’re Dying”, “The highway don’t care” this is a song with a great guitar riff with Keith Urbin which you will love and vocals with Taylor Swift.
Semper Fi Marine! Vietnam veteran one of U(ncle)S(am's)M(isguided)C(hildren) and I can relate to the song myself. Everytime I hear it I listen with tears as I was one of the lucky ones.
First off Jack Daniels is TENNESSEE WINE MMK! LOL Secondly This song reminds me of my friend CWO2 Christopher B Donaldson who was KIA 5/5/06. RIP Chris... Our Hero In The Sky
I LOVE this song, however it is bitter sweet for my family as this was played for the first time the same day we learned that our son (all our kids friends became family) died in Iraq with 3 other souls by a roadside I E D. 15yrs later and this still takes me back to that day. God bless all our soldiers and their families for all they sacrifice. SEMPER Fi !
Coming from a military family and background this song always gets to me. Out of 4 uncles my grandfather my brother and my father all came home safely. Ive had friends that did and some that did not. One great song is by Alan Jackson ( where were you when the world stopped turning. ) its about 9/11. Any American that remembers this day can relate to this song.
Alan Jackson Remember When is very emotional. I have a hard time with it for sure. Also, The soundtrack to The Shack. Tim Mcgraw and Faith Hill have a phenomenal song called Keep Your Eyes on Me.. if you know anything about the movie you know what the song is about
Song reminds me of my death letter we all wrote to our family's just before we went into combat...let's people kinda know that we think of our family and fellow brothers besides us more than ourselfs.
So love your channel. Have you ever thought of doing a reaction to Gordon Lightfoot's song The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald? Not sure how I can send bourbon all the way from Hawaii, but will is I can. This is a great song
I bawl every time I hear this. This came out as my hubby went overseas. So many prayers went up and Praise God he came home. But his lieutenant didn't. His wife was pregnant with their daughter. 😭😭😭
Yeah. Tough stuff. Rock has some stuff along these lines too. I'd recommend checking out Alice in Chains "The Rooster." It's a song from the point of view of guitarist Jerry Cantrell's dad, whose nickname was "The Rooster." He was an M60 gunner in Vietnam. Those guys had a very short life expectancy in a firefight. What made me think of it, are these lines: "Walkin' tall machine gun man | They spit on me in my homeland | Gloria sent me pictures of my boy" Those pics from family mattered.
I remember sending a death letter home. I didn't want to sent it to my parents so I sent it to the mayor, mainstreet, town, state. It made it to him. In the letter outside the sealed death letter said, If I make it home, I'll personally pick it up from him. If I don't, please deliver to my family. This was before really the internet. I remember walking into his office and said who I was and here to pick up my letter. He said "I'm so happy to see you" and opened his main drawer and pulled my letter out and handed it to me. I went outside and burned it. I'm wondering how many vets went death letters home from war? It was tough writing and sending it. It was awesome personally picking it up. Couldn't even fathom coming hom. Many may not get that statement.
@@BourbonCountryReacts My squad leader had us all do it. "ok, sit down and write a letter to your family if you don't make it home. Tell them what you want them to know" Before internet and cell phones. To just get a phone call home was literally impossible.
They DESERVE our tears....my husband served in the Military for 20 years and thankfully came home (although he passed away 3 weeks ago, taking both my heart and soul with him. We were married 48 years, although he was only 69 when he left me). If you want to watch a real life film about our Military coming home watch the movie "Taking Chance" starring Kevin Bacon. You'll learn a lot about Honoring our Military. To those that have served as well as those now serving : Thank you for your sacrifices....
Someone must be cutting onions over there lol but seriously a powerful song I remember when he put this song out I don't know how he can sing this song and not get choked up I can't get through it without crying
First off Thank You for your service. I come from a Marinecorps family and proud of my family. I think you guys would like Carrie Underwood "just a dream" as well as Tracy Lawrence "if I dont make it back". Trace Adkins also has a good one "Welcome to Hell" its about Osama Bin Laden. You'll get a kick out of it.
This song always makes me cry. But I have another tear jerker for ya..Streets of Heaven. It got me through the loss of my daughter. I think the artist is Sherrie Austin. She's from Australia.
