Montgomery Gentry - Some People Change (Video) 

I broke the cycle of hate….man the first verse hits home….God bless you all!

It's so sad that Troy Gentry passed away this afternoon in a Helicopter crash. I'm happy he knew God. Prayers going out to his family friends and fans.

I don't know what its like to be an addict, or be raised in a controversial family, but i still love this song. Brings a tear to my eye almost every time. It is so powerful

As an addict that has been sober for 14 years I find this song inspiring. Thank you for recording it. I wish more people believed that people can change.

I wish some people could see the change in me and not see the man I use to be. I really hate the person I use to be. I thank God he changed my life.

My mom WAS an alcoholic , my dad WAS abusive, and I WAS nothing more then a dirtbag (Drugs,Womanizer, Never believed in myself,gangs, racist ect).....it took years. At first i found God and I started believing in him.The more I believed the more I saw God take notice. We all started going to church and volunteering from the heart. My mom has been clean for years. My dad spoke sweeter, and I left my old gang behind, started over, forgave myself, respected everyone equally and met amazing people, I've been clean for many years and I thank God for it everyday. It shows when I told my fiancé about my past..and she couldn't believe it..Dont stop believing!

Have you ever cried over a song and you don't even know why you are crying? You just know it is speaking to your soul. This is this song for me.

R.I.P. T-Roy. One of the greatest voices Country Music Ever Had 🙏🏼✝️

I have a grandmother who acts all sweet with me and her grandchildren, but in all reality, had neglected her own 5 children, one of which included my dad. I thank God that none of them ended up like her and I pray for her and everyone else in their bad ways everyday. This song gives me hope for even the worst of people.

Glory to God!!! I was just like that young boy........Then JESUS SHOWED UP!! I CHANGED!!!

Rip Troy songs like this changed my life, thank you.

RIP Troy!! Will never be forgotten!! Love this song

Thank you Lord for such a great singer like Montgomery, he inspires people just like you do Lord.

I can listen to this song over and over again. It never seems to get old. What a great reminder...people change for the better

I absolutely love this song, and it's one of my favorites by Montgomery Gentry. Thanks for making this world a better place.

Rest in peace Troy Gentry

It gives me chills to listen to this song. It has been a big song for me since it came out and has helped me to return to being the good Christian I always was. Thank God for helping me return to me.

I love this song. It's so true, people can change if they have the faith and will. I have a cousin who was a drug user and he joined the Army to get him outta all that. He's been through 5 tours of duty and is now in the Reserves. He is also married to the sweetest girl in the world and I just found out that they have a baby on the way.

My dad WAS an addict. I stopped communication with him when I was 10. He got clean when I was 18, I’m 34 now. He’s been clean for 16 years. I have an amazing relationship with him now, I got my dad back. I thank God everyday I was afraid he would end up dead. There’s hope for everyone. If you’re going through it don’t lose hope or faith, you can do it!

Never an alcoholic or drug addict but I did use to self harm pretty bad. I thank my husband every day for being my support system to help me be clean for the last 8 years. If it wasn't for him I would have already been dead. I would have never had our daughter. So glad I changed.

RIP TROY..I'm still in shock that you're gone....GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY, You are greatly missed...AMEN

Why can't country still be like this

TOOK MANY YEARS , BUT I GIVE THANKS TO HIM ,( I SAW THAT LIGHT ) THANKYOU LORD

This song is so powerful! I am an immigrant that fell in love with this Country since I was a kid living in México. I came to the States when I was 19 years old. I came illegally and earned my Citizenship when I turned 25 years old. I consider this Country my home because. I found out this Country loves me too. There are good in people everywhere even in those that misunderstand me and the ones I miss understand. God bless.

i love how 90% of montgomery gentry's songs have an extremely deep meaning to them......its not just music, its a story or lesson....its great!!

I come back to this song many years later, it feels more impactful more now than ever. I have lost my way in this life and then having do deal with my dad passing away last year. It's been hard to stay positive at times. I'm not giving up hope I can get through this and live to my potential.

This song made me cry. It's so powerful!

Excellent song! This is country at its finest! Got holy Goosebumps when the choir came in

This song stooped me in my tracks today. I've heard it a thousand times before and today was the first time I listened to it. What a powerful song! Some people really do change but we need so many more to do the same and just love people.

God Bless Troy Gentry Was taken away from this earth in a helicopter crash today . God bless his family and Eddie Montgomery in their tragic loss . Very shocking and sad . Also Don Williams passed today and a month ago on this date we loss Glen Campbell . Such tragic loss loosing 3 great artist in a months time . Heart breaking .

This song makes me think of my uncle. He was in Vietnam. The horrors of war turned him into an alcoholic. When he was drunk he was abusive. (verbally and physically) He knew it was taking a toll on his marriage and decided to get help. Unfortunately the alcohol already took it's toll on his body and left him terminally ill of cancer. The last years he was alive he was a changed man

I think of my brother when i hear this song. He use to be so abusive not only to his son but also to me. I use to be so afraid of him as a minor. But now he no longer abuses anybody and has changed so much thanks to his beautiful and wonderful fiance. I'm so glad my brother changed for the better.

Someone close to you is fighting a battle you know nothing about

Wish America would listen to this song! Its not the Nation that needs to change for the People, its the Heart of the People that needs to change for the Nation! "When the Power of Love overcomes the Love of Power, the World will know Peace!" -Jimi Hendrix

This song changed my life. God bless y’all, I hope T-roy is resting in peace waiting on everyone to come see him.

Montgomery Gentry, God through this song turned my life around. From a depressed, self-harming boy into a purposed, joy-filled man. This song gave me hope at my lowest points. It gave me hope that I could change and become who I am meant to be in Christ.

if not for this song i would have never changed but now im livin free n a changed man soon to b married to a beautiful country girl

Go rest high on the mountain Troy....😢😢😢

Legends i love it. Amen. Not my dearly missed dad. However i know someone who was raised that way. A lot of people & i have no room in my heart or soul for discrimination nor hatred. God bless y'all & everyone.

No matter what you may have done. Redemption was never kept far from anyone who genuinely sought out the Lord and called upon him for forgiveness. No matter what

This song changed my life. RIP

Today is the first I heard this song! All in God's time..........Thank you for this drop to your knees song.........

My dad is an awesome dad he raised me an my younger brother all on his own and I am so happy to say he finally quit drinking alcohol love u daddy

Thou shall not judge that also means not to judge a man for the color of his skin

Troy Gentry may God Rest Your soul

at the age of 18 I would drink any beer can I could get my hands on it lead me to become a drunk and all that I would be out late nights just drunking and tryin to have fun with my mom and dad prayin for my soul until I hit rock bottom I didn't know what to do so one night I decided to get out my bible and read it I am 24 now and 3 years sober so far and begin going back to church thank you God for never leaving my side

MG., If all were as solid as you..... this country would be as soliid as a diamond...

A former member of the Westboro Baptist Church is now supporting the NoH8 campaign. This song was the first thing that came to mind.

R.I.P. Troy. You were an amazing singer! You'll be missed!

Can't believe he's gone I had a rough childhood hood and this was my go to duo what a tragic loss

It doesn't take take much to change the intentions of your heart. Some choose God, Some choose family, some trust because they will depend on those people of all colors and backgrounds to keep them alive ... I had a friend who hated latino's but he found a friend in Afghanistan while we were being shot at who watched his back as he watched ours and you know he calls that young man his brother.

Not only that, God helped me get back into school. I graduated with a degree in May of last year; I now have a job at the same homeless shelter where I'd been a 'frequent' resident - now I'm a staff member there, where I can encourage others. Also, I've been free of drugs, alcohol, & out of abusive relationships for 16 years. So for anyone who's still struggling with recovery, drug/alcohol abuse - I've been there. Its not always easy, but it IS worth it, and it WILL happen.

Just love it. Thanks for at least trying to change people as well as the society.......❤️👍🏼💯

I used to be a soulless nerd. Got off the medication and started making some friends. Started nursing school. Failing it. And starting a new study as gardener next year. Is it all hard? Yes. But there must be light at the end of it

Absolutely devastated and heartbroken. Saw it on the news and prayed so hard it wasn't true and it wasn't him. Not T - Roy. But it was true and it WAS him. My heart goes out to his family 💔😔 RIP Troy

This should of win like 20 Grammy Awards. Great song

This song has never failed to leave me completely covered in goosebumps.

The night my first grandson was born, I knew I was going to have to become the grandfather that he really needed because I had this feeling that his dad wasn't going to be around for him so Iaftet i went to go into the hospital and visiting my daughtet and grandson I went home and turned the radio on and two songs played back to back! The first one was the man I want to be by Chris Young, the next one was Some People Change by Montgomery Gentry! It was late at night and I was feeling kind of emotional knowing that I was going to be a grandfather , but then I thought back to what kind of Grandfather I had when I was a child ! He was the greatest grandfather any child could ever want . He really wasn't my real grandfather he was a step-grandfather but he treated me like a son and I realized that's the man I had to become for my grandchild. I went into the bathroom got ready for bed looked in the mirror and broke down crying like a baby because I knew I wasn't the man I should be be in the past but those two powerful songs turned me into the grandfather and man that I wanted to be! There's a lot of power in some songs and they can change your life and I can testify those two turned me into the grandfather my grandson loves along with my two granddaughters

Rip Mr Gentry! Thinking of u n praying for u Mr Montgomery! MG does n will always ROCK!

This song has a real meaning unlike some of this crap that’s out today

I actually felt a stronger connection to God listening to this, than I feel with many worship songs. Come Lord Jesus, Amen!

R.I.P. Gentry , loved (love) yalls music.

Jesus thank you for putting the Grace of God in my way...

R.I.P. Troy Gentry

You can see the love and passion Troy had for music. An amazing voice lost way too soon.

My dad died my sister could never forget or forgive. She never thought people could change. I heard this on Thanksgiving. It fits us. Love you Nicole.

I was that guy I the first verse, and yes the grace of God filled my life with peace, love , and acceptance. Now that I have found the true meaning of life I spread the word of God's love and the ability to change to troubled youth caught in the troubled world of hate.

R.I.P Gentry 😢

This song inspired a novel I wrote...and I wish I could tell Montgomery Gentry that I'm thankful for it.

Finally a song that is both anti racist and anti woke

I'm trying to change badly. I was baptized in June 2009 10 years old but I didn't take my relationship with God seriously right after I got baptized and when I was 12 I started looking at bad stuff. When I was 17 last year about to turn 18 I said "I want to quit" and it's still hard right now every time I've tried to quit I've had relapses about every 2 months sometimes once every week and then I came across Matthew 5:28 "Any man who looks at a woman lustfully has committed adultery with her in his heart" and that's when I started to hate what I done and I'm praying to god so hard that I want to run away from my wicked ways and like I said it's still hard.

God Bless Troy and his family. RIP my friend.. you will be missed.

This song hits home hard! My wife helped me through my drug problem so much and never judged. I’m so proud to be 5 years clean and even prouder to be married to the most amazing women ever! Thank the good lord!

We will miss Troy, it is a sad day in Country Music. -Todd Howen, Cold Spring, MN

I remember I dedicated this song to my mom when this song first came out. She was a addict. She got sober for a couple years after this but then relapsed. She lost her battle to addiction last April. I still believe some people can change but don’t let being around those people change you. Sometimes you have to walk away to save yourself. It’s not up to you, it’s up to them to change.

RIP Troy Gentry

R.I.P. Troy....

When someone hurts, he doesn't understand that the one who will be hurt the most will be him. The task of living together is not easy. Strength is only given by the supreme being of heaven for the redemption of us humans

I need this in my mind I'm tired of feeling every thought full of hate on someone's color

RIP Troy Gentry💔 this one is for you 🍺

I love this song and I believe that people can change and I have faith in my challenge.

Truly a remarkable song they came out with this album in 2008 I believe or maybe 07 in honor of Troy Gentry

Went on for years until I got myself in trouble. But it was the best thing it could have happened to me, where I surrendered myself to God, went through drug rehab behind bars, faced a lot of issues, and learned that I wasn't totally worthless. I was able to get out of abusive relationships, trusted God, got a job, & eventually went back to school. That was 16 years ago. Today I've been married to a man for 11 years who loves/accepts me, in spite of a lot of faults, who doesn't abuse me.(next p)

AWESOME! uplifting...God is working in our lives more and more today.

I LOVE THIS SONG AND THE VIDEO AND THE MESSAGE IN IT !!!

I've been having a terrible week listening to this song has helped me a lot today I've been constantly crying I am a damn mess!! Listening to this song has helped me get my breathing under control, still hurts when I take a breath a little bit.....

I personally know a U.S. Marine(retired) who loved what he did 30 years ago - served during relative peacetime, was all "gung-ho" about it, you know. Today he is still proud of that heritage, but vigorously opposes the use of the military in "wars of opportunity" or "by choice". He is a born again Christian but uses his own mind, not going along with either political party, let alone the Republican Party embraced by most Christians, military, fire, police, etc. Change indeed! :)

Rest in peace Troy. Will miss you and your awesome talent.

I listen to this song every day and still bawl my eyes out I'm 6 years clean 7 this April 9th it's hard to believe that some people can change but if they want it bad enough like I did then they can I love being able to share my recovery with others because I know it's hard but so worth it!!!!!

Amen and thank God for second and many chances praise God always ❤

This song reminds me of my grandma. And a few other people in my family. But my grandma mainly at this point. She passed away two months ago. She was 84 years old but ten years before she passed away she quit drinking. Before that she had been drinking for over 40 something years most of my adult life and my childhood. But at some point when she stopped drinking she gave everything over to God and I believe it was by his grace that she was able to stay sober as long as she did. This past year she got really sick she fell and she broke her hip and just went downhill after that. But when she died she was happy because she knew where she was going and she was happy that she was going to get to see my grandpa and my mom and my brother again along with all of our other family members that went on before her. My mother and my little brother passed away my little brother passed away three years ago of a drug overdose and my mom passed away 11 years ago from a drug overdose. And I think a lot of the reason why my grandma got sober was to show my mom and my little brother that sobriety was possible and it is and it is possible for people to change for the better.

I believe everybody's different but were all created by God and its our choice to make the right choice and live fight by God and do his work on earth I ain't racist on anybody and never have been and I never will be I love everybody and if theirs anybody on here that's going through heck iam praying for you right now amen

Thank You Troy for such a huge and powerful message in this song. Your music is awesome, So sad today, so very very sad. So much love to the family.

RIP Troy. This band will never be the same without you.

some people change im a witness to that my little brother was on the fast track to jail no one but me and my mom believed he could change that one he woke and asked us for help we took to church and support groups and even when he was home helped him change hes a better person today and he did it himself he is a amazing young man whos got his life heading the right way and im proud of you little brother.

R.I.P Troy. Thank for amazing songs like this one
