This song never fails to make me emotional ... I grew up in a very small town and had a good friend...we shared the same classes thru our school years and she was always sick ..she couldn't play outside sometimes so I stayed in with her and we got older she stayed so small and i would carry her books and backpack and there was even times i carried her on my back to classes ( our school had a ton of stairs) ... All she wanted was to be a chef ... Our senior year of high ... Just a few months shy of graduation she passed away from her illness and thinking back during her service her dad brought her horse and all i remember is her horse... and her father standing there i didn't see the crowd or even the massive tree right next to her grave,... Her death shattered me but it also took my fear of death away...I ended up putting my tassel on her headstone after graduation ... I often think about who she would be today what she would have accomplished , she may have only been on this Earth 17 years but in them 17 years she taught all of so much I feel blessed to have had her in my life .... No one is promised tomorrow
I lost my best friend, who was also my baby cousin in December of 2016. She was 23, had Cystic Fibrosis and was almost 2 years post-double lung transplant. I can't even tell you how many times I've dialed her number or started writing a text message and then all those emotions come back to the surface. I will say, I'm so glad that she has gone 2 1/2 years without feeling pain. I know she's watching over my family and I. But it doesn't make me not wish she was here... as humans we are greedy, and time is something that you just never have enough of.
I lost a son at young age and this song here Kenny Chesney who you'd be today and bring 9/11, sad, sad, One Sweet Day by Mariah Carey and Boyz to men, ONE SWEET DAY,, I can't not cry when i hear that, I miss my son, my dad, my other family members and great friends gone forever and just having to deal with the forever won't see aging until later. I ave tried to be selfish and really really strongly attempted suicide because one can only take so much and that will never, never, ever change, hurts, a toddler to accident, dad I cannot say much as been years and still broken to all hell until die!?, Hurt, Regret, never Forget😥😥🙏😥😥🙏
Your page was the first reaction videos I started watching. Even though I've checked out other I always come back to yours. We love BYSE because it shows how human you are and the huge heart you have. Thank you for the years of amazing videos❤
I lost a lot of friends when we were young. Too many and from everything from cancer, suicide, freak accidents, car crashes and even murder. It sucks to think about it but I always remember them.
You are the first person that reacted to this song. I've followed others and requested this song for their reaction.....nothing. I lost my son, Joshua Rico, june 24, 2018...he passed from drinking. He was only 28 years young. I'm an alcoholic, clean and sober for 13 years plus. I thought I could have saved him. I couldnt. I miss him soo much. Some days I can sing this song thru.....some days I can't get the first verse out. This is his song. I miss my son soo much. Love you Josh. I'll see you on the other side Son. 😪
We lost our stillborn grandson a year ago. Anytime I hear this, I automatically think of Dalton. I would have loved to watch the man he'd have grown into. 😭
My son's graduating class sang this song for him in 2013. He had died in a car accident in 2012 at 17. 10 years have passed and this song still makes me cry every time I hear it.
This song gets to me. January will make 3 years since I lost my best friend, he was like a brother to me! Me and him were on our first combat deployment we were new soldiers that were unsure but somewhat excited about the opportunity. We were next to each other joking around the whole flight talking about the most rambling things. The one thing I remember the most was him telling me that I had no need to worry he would make sure I made it back home to my family. I have experienced many rough moments in my life but never have I like the day I had to salute his remains as he was loaded into the plane for his final flight home. To this day I still feel the guilt that I made it back and he didn’t. It was so hard flying back home at the end of the tour looking around for him but knowing he wasn’t on that plane. RIP Mitch. til valhalla
I play this song twice a year, on 9/7 and 1/22,the birth and the death of my first born son,he would of been 36 today. Thank you Billy, this hits home❤️💖
This song makes me cry every time. I lost my son Austin to brain cancer when he was 9. Worst thing is when a parent has to Bury their child. RIP My sweet boy!🎗💜🎗💜
May 4th 1984, the day before I was going to propose, the crash that broke my world ... we had been together 9 years . We met beginning of my junior year. Waited so we could be ready in all ways ... today would have been her 59th birthday ... Kate brought joy and purpose. What she would have been ... a mom, a grandma, ans so much more. I miss you to this moment. Always!
This is a great song & Kenny has many. 'Don't blink' & 'There goes my life' are serious like this tune & then he has tons of fun songs too, like 'When the sun goes down'. He has a tropical vibe to many of his songs. He is a beach guy, not your typical cowboy.
Mulberryman I also asked for this one too. From my daughter’s perspective. There are so many beautiful songs that can describe and help us through great losses.
I was the Leading Petty Officer for my Command's Color Guard. Many parades and retirement ceremonies but the toughest thing was always folding and presenting the Flag. I have been now doing military funeral details for nearly 32 years. I wear my RayBans every time. It hides the tears.
I feel this deep down, man! I’m a huge Kenny Chesney fan but this song took a new meaning when my cousin died in a car crash at 16 on July 17th, 2017. Until we meet again, buddy!
This song came out a few months before my best friend in high school fiance was killed in a car crash the same weekend he proposed. They played this at her funeral. And it always takes me back.
Whenever I hear this song I think of my older sisters best friend Ariel, who died in an accident only a few years after she graduated. She was like another older sister to me and I still cry when I read the book I recieved on my 18th birthday that had a paragraph from Ariel about who she believed I would become.
This reminds me when I was in Afghanistan seeing how many ramp ceremonies that comprised of dozens of soldiers taking their final ride home. So many lives were cut too short.
This song gets me cause I start thinking about who my son Matthew would be. He was born stillborn so he never got a chance to do anything. When my oldest child was four we went to see Kenny at a signing for best buy. He was in town for a concert so the day before he signed CDs at Best buy for only an hour. My son and I were in line first after waiting at the store for three hours before they opened. He walked his happy self up to the table, stood on his tip toes in his big cowboy hat just to see Kenny. He handed him his guitar and said hi think my tractors sexy guy. Kenny talk to him for almost ten minutes. Right as we walk away Kenny's publicity manager stops me and hands me two free tickets to the show. The show was sponsored by Maytag so when we got there to wait in line my son got to meet and hang out with the old Maytag repair man. Then at the concert when Sara Evans played she picked up my son and sang to him on stage. When Kenny came out he did the same thing only in a much cooler way and for longer of a time. It was the best day of my kids life so far. He signed so many autographs to people's tickets saying my son was cuter anyway. I don't remember how many scribbles my son did before we got to leave the place.
we all experience this it is good to know that others have also so we are not alone in our pain and longing. It is also the reason we continue and live life for ourselves and the ones that have been left behind.
This song is very close to my family my father’s little sister passed away before she was 2 so to play this around that side of the family really gets to them
I haven't listened to this song since 2010 when my best friend was killed on his motorcycle. He was a HUGE Kenny Chesney fan and would go all over seeing him. He had just gotten engaged and bought a house with his fiancée and graduated from Wentworth 2 years earlier. I often wonder "who he'd be today" and what our lives would look like.
My little brother was murdered when he was 21 and almost every day I wonder who he'd be today. I was driving home from visiting my mama the first time I heard this song shortly after his death and I cried so hard I had to pull over on the side of the interstate until I could calm down. Fifteen years later I still have the same reaction.
This song was played at my best friend's funeral. She passed away in 2006 at the age of 20 from a car accident. I can barely make it through this song. It breaks my entire heart and hurts my soul.
I was 21. I wonder all the time who Michael would be today. It has been nearly 20 years.....my 14 year old daughter was named for him. Her middle name is Michael. This song always brings him right to my mind.
In 2001, I lost my nephew whom was more like a brother because we were only 3 years apart in age - he was only 33 years old. We were so so close. We used to talk about how we were so “crazy” that we’d both end up “old maids” sitting in rocking chairs and bickering about something. We didn’t do that 😢😢. This song made me think about him so much. Jimmy I still miss you so much
Had only one sibling a younger brother by 2 years. We lost him 13 years ago. He was 32. Almost killed me. He was my person and I his. What do you do when that is torn away in an instant. Pray and hold on. I still drive his truck today. I leave my jag in the garage and drive his beat up old truck. I miss him daily
My husband and I lost our daughter at 3 months old in 2014. It was by far one of the hardest things we have ever been through. We were told we are carriers of a horrible disease called mitochondrial disease. There are millions of different strands and the one we are carriers of is one of the worst. I really am thankful for the time we had with her but I still always wonder who she would be today.
This song came out after 9/11. The fireman died in the towers, the young men signed up after the attack. The high school sweethearts harkens back to a high school friend of Kenny's who died.
My mom plays this song every year on the anniversary of my brother's death. It's been 25 years, and it still hits her like it was yesterday. He was two years old, and I was four months from being born. I never knew him, but I usually join my mom in her mourning because I know he would've been my best friend, and I lost a lot of moments and memories before they could even happen
This is absolutely my favourite Kenny Chesney song, even though it rips my heart out every time I hear it. It always makes me think of my friend Scott, who served in the USMC and died in the South Canyon wildfire in Colorado on July 6,1994; he was only 27, and one of a total of 14 that died in that fire. You should do a reaction to Dan Vasc's I See Fire and The Last Goodbye.
I am speechless.... after watching all your memorial day videos on the 18 th anniversary of losing a very dear loved one. I was going to ask you to react to this song. Then I found it.... some how as a complete stranger you helped me get through an extremely rough time. THANK YOU!
