MY COACH FORCED ME TO REACT TO Brooks & Dunn - Believe (Official Video) 

I saw a old black man every morning at the bus stop going to school. He told me that my life was mine and it was up to me how I lived it. I'll never forget him. I'm 52 now, and I'll always be grateful to him.

"The words written in Red" are the words in the Bible spoken by Jesus.

I’m 51 years old. This wouldn’t have been an unusual friendship back in the day. Especially in small town America. People are people and neighbors are neighbors. That’s the world I grew up in.

Actually a true story from his childhood. That wonderful old man existed

I think the friendship is something that happened in BOTH of their lives because they BOTH needed each other.

Can I just say; I'm a 55 YO white man and not one day in my life was it frowned upon to be friends or even date outside my race. I know that it sometimes seems that the racial divide was always horrible. Truth be told we were solving problems and coming together until those who made big bucks to push racial division got so good at their jobs.

Don't be sorry This Brought this 70 year old Marine to tears.

This song, though emotional is not sad, but victory. I love it.

Ronny Dunn actually based this song on real life experience. It's not just a story.

This is a true story that Dunn experienceed growing up ❤

A strong bond with a older man as A boy is very important especially if he is a good man. Great song great reaction, country is not my fav music but a song like this makes me stop and listen.

The first time I saw this I cried, their friendship is something the boy will have with him forever. I know this is a true story. The guy singing was the little boy🙏

Seeing that he used the picture of himself and the boy as a bookmark got me too..I've watched this music video so many times and it still gets me 🥺

This is not a sad song. Rejoice, he has joined his family like he said he would because he “ Believed”.

He's with his wife and his child now!🙏💖

This won Song of the Year:)

Firstly, you look absolutely beautiful. I love your country reactions. It's wonderful to watch a young person feel the story. As you get older...like me...faith is what will help you navigate this crazy world we live in. Stay true to yourself. Sending you blessings, peace and good vibes. Xo

Songs like this that inspire you to feel joy and sorrow at the same time are just so beautiful.

I’m 72 YO white man and when I was a baby of 3-6 my mom and dad both worked and we had a black lady as a maid and l loved her so much when we heard that she had passed l cried for days even though I was 37 I served in Vietnam in the Marines and black people l served with were my brothers. I despise prejudice people no matter what color

Ronnie Dunn has a beautiful voice.....powerful message.

The true story of Ronnies childhood...Old man Wrigley is now with his wife and baby...the song is powerful on its own...but watching it in video brings everything home...one of my top ten all time favorite videos. Great reaction and keep watchin!!

Can't see the forest because of the trees.. type of reaction. There's a lot more to the truth then many young people consider and RESPECT! Songs such as this REQUIRES people to do soul searching for a heartfelt connection that makes sense! Loved the reaction.... please do more! peace

Beautiful reaction to a beautiful, emotional song/

True story. He will see his friend again, in Heaven. Amen and Amen.

Young lady, that was a very insightful reaction. Your observation that this friendship took place when things were much different was spot on.

Ronnie Dunn is SO good singing this - it's his personal story, as he was a preacher when he was younger.

It was a friendship they both needed

Your reaction to this song shows that you are beautiful on the inside as you are on the outside. You are very pretty with beautiful skin.

I want to tell you about my friend Mr. Roberts, "a black man" who passed away when I was very young, perhaps 8. He owned the big farm house and rental cottages at the end the road that I grew up on, in a tourist town in OOB, Maine. We were a big family. He was always so kind to us and loved us children coming around to bother him. My great-grandparents , grandparents and Mr. Roberts were friends. My grandparents told me they had been friends with Louis Armstrong. My grandfather also said he knew other famous people like Bette Davis. (all of this happened around WW II). As far as I know, Mr. Armstrong stayed at Mr. Robert's rental cottages when he played at the venues near where we lived My grandfather told me he, Mr. Roberts and Mr. Armstrong went to bars that would have them many times to have beers and play cards. I swear I am telling you what everyone I know said is true. I never met Louis Armstrong or Bette Davis to ask them about it. being only 60

She said, "This must have happened in the 90's." I'm deceased! ☠😂😂 I enjoyed this so much. Nice to meet you.

I love your reactions and comments to Brooks and Dunn "Believe ❤️"

Dying was a blessing.. he got to be with his family again. Bittersweet. He was an extra papa to that boy .

I've been very fortunate as I have had several of those people in my life over the years-in fact thinking about it, there have been many, -find a few,they are out there-the stories, and wisdom they can impart is amazing,it's the quiet and thoughtful ones you need, not the loud, and brash as life taught them long ago that the more you learn, the more you know how much you yet need to learn. We are all issued our ticket to the other side, and it gets punched at birth, the adventure is seeing where the journey will lead, and what we will learn along the way-every day we are granted on the way can be a blessing, but it's up to us to make it so-I think from what I see here you will have a great trip !

They seem stuff more then we all did they have so much wisdom.

I grew up in the deep south. Race wasn't a conversation. I ate, lived, worked with many races without a second thought. I was equally welcomed in their homes as well. It's today's culture bringing back racism. I still talk to all my childhood friends and shake our heads about the "powers that be" tying to divide the country with lies and subterfuge. We are ALL God's children, equally.

This song is how humanity can be without the BS from MSM & social media influences. Just good conversations with Ole man Wrigley

That was a beautiful reaction... much love young lady!!!

This song reminds me of my "Mr. Wriggly", His name was Mr. Levi, he worked on my great grandparent's land as a sharecropper as a young man, raising cattle and farming and taking care of it as it was his own because it was. When my great grand parents died they left the majority of it to his family. He lived to be about 96, outlasting my great grandparents and grandparents. He was like a great grandfather to me, always one of the smartest and funniest and wise people I ever knew. I still miss spending time with him fishing my pond and picking his brain, talking about nothing, and everything.

Great reaction to a beautiful song. Very deep.

When I was a little girl growing up in the late 50's and 60's our neighbors were black and white We didn't see race ,creed or color ,The TV brought much destruction into our lives. We all lived in peace and harmony back then my playmates were black and white we tought nothing of it!

My favorite songs from Brooks & Dunn are That Ain’t No Way To Go; Whiskey Under the Bridge; Neon Moon; Hard Workin’ Man; She Used To Be Mine; Brand New Man; She’s Not the Cheatin’ Kind; If You See Him, If You See Her (with Reba McEntire); and of course Believe!

The singer Ronnie Dunn, this is his true story. He wrote the song for Mr. Rigley. Oh by the way, Ronnie's last name sounds like Done. The guy playing the guitar is the other half of Brooks and Dunn. Kix Brooks. Great reaction ☮️

I was said that the man singing wrote this because it was his true experience. He was that little boy. I guess that's true.

You look cool and you're all cool and that Brooks & Dunn was fantastic I just subscribed to your channel and hit like.

Your so beautiful thank you for sharing this video with us your so awesome on your youtube channel am glad i join it now.🌹❤️👍

Good job young lady

you're so pretty girl

I think all the good singers, can make you feel it, if you feel nothing the artist didn't accomplish anything. Music is meant to be therapy. To make you think deeper than on the daily level.

I have a family friend this is much like this old man hes an old korean war veteran. i know he doesnt have long left and this song makes me think time is so much more precious than people realize.

Kathy here - At first, when your "intro" came on and you first started talking, I thought, she isn't going to get it. But you pleasantly surprised me. It hits you in your "feels" and your entire demeanor changed when you realized what the end of the song was going to be about, and it definitely hit you in your feels! Great reaction, and I am now a subscriber to your channel and look forward to your next review!

Beautiful reaction ❤and can I just tell you that I think you are a very pretty young lady 😊 ❤

STOP PAUSING!!! YOU KILL THE EMOTIONAL FLOW OF THIS BEAUTIFUL SONG!! WAIT TILL THE END AND COMMENT!!

This is a true story from when the singer was a kid

Ronnie Dunn can take you to church like nobody else. Have heard this song at least 100 times and cry every time. Like right now

Come on! People die and it's sad. "there's more to life than what he can see". He's talking about God. This is a true story, song written by the lead singer, Ronnie Dunn. Millions of people have had this kind of friendship in life. I'm sorry you haven't been blessed with such a relationship.

This song was written by them about a true story that happened to the singer in his childhood

It's actually a story from Ronnie Dunn's past growing up

Beautiful ❤️😥🙏

when i was growing up there was an elderly man and his wife that lived behind our house. George would come outside as school was letting out, and sit on his back stoop. My mom would let me go visit with him while she was making dinner. We would visit for about a 1/2 an hour, he would ask what i learned in school. And then share stories about when he was growing up. He once taught me how to fold a hand kerchief into the shape of a mouse... something they did when he was young because store bought toys were just too expensive for most families back then. It was just a little time out of his day but it was something i looked forward to. It's not really like that anymore... people don't have time for others and no one seems to care about anyone like they used to.

Faith is the only thing that keeps many of us going.. knowing that this isn't where we belong.

Great vid, thank you for sharing how one of my favorite songs made you feel

Love this song and you are gorgeous!!

Beautiful selection! Subbed!❤

Life does not end in a slow riding hearse it only begins

Don't worry sweetheart, we cuss too and cry. I was in the Army in the 80's before the current storm of lies and I can tell you "we are all the same" no matter what anyone tells you.

We don't have long, we fly soon. Better be ready.

Brooks and Dunn were THE dominant country duo in the nineties and into the 2000's until they split up... They are back together now, and are touring again... Kix Brooks, the other half of the duo, usually sings backup, but does lead on some songs... Thank you to Pete Potaczek for pointing out that part of this post, about this song being based on a true story, is not true... I had read it in an article awhile back, but now, I can not find it, or any other source that backs it up, so I deleted that part of the post... I had also phrased it poorly, saying it was a true story instead of BASED on a true story, which is what I had meant to say, but didn't... Like I said earlier, since I couldn't back it up, I deleted it. I left the part that is true. I apologize for my error, namely, not double checking my source as I usually do when I have any doubt. This one slipped by me.

This is so beautiful and sad.❤️

I’m glad you see the love that is all there is l love you ❤

He believed in God's Word and God's promise of being with other believers after death.

Great Reaction 👍🙏👣

It would blow your mind the people I love that I shouldn't love

You might like to listen to Dolly Parton's "Hard Candy Christmas "❤

It's a story of loss and u don't realize how much u loose until reality his. Appreciate the wisdom that is told u . Loss of a love one is rough. Also trust and live by the words in the bible

True story!

I had this relationship with a Black woman as a young child. Even later I skipped school, pretending to have a stomachache, because I knew she was coming over to the house. I loved that lady and she loved me. Race relationships were actually better back then. You're too young to remember. The recent hate and division has been stirred up on purpose so we'll fight each other instead of those in power who make our lives miserable. All of us together could force them to be what they are meant to be, servants of the people who elect them and pay them. But there are those who pay more and it's THEIR will that's followed. Their will is to enslave us all.

I believe!

I believe ❤

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

I’ve seen a really slow ride in a hearse. In the Philippines there’s many that don’t have a car. They walk behind the hearse as it moves slowly to the graveyard.

Brooks and Dunn beautiful outrageous vocals. Dunn is pronounced like "fun". In the bible it's all about Jesus who died suffered and rose so that we could all be with Him and see our loved ones cause our life belong to Him who will raise the dead again : Believe it

DONE. NOT DUNE also that gasp when you realize how lovingly inclusive this. Some of my all time best friends ate the best. I call at least of them my brothers. And the lady my lover. Were still working out how to have our happy ever after. She's in Memphis I'm in Nashville but she's the most beautiful gal I've ever seen. She and I worked to save someone to. We fell short

Feeling it is the point. Music can raise you up, bring you down, or just calm you. But all of those emotions are things you need to be a complete person. Its how you get in touch with how you feel about life, love and the world around you. Don't pass up listening to music because it might make you feel sad. That doesn't mean you have to listen to it immediately, but don't completely pass it by either.

GOD LOVES YOU.

You have a good coach who cares about you.

This an intelligent reaction thank you. I do have to say though you are one of the most gorgeous women I have laid a gaze on!

I always cry with this song.

React to The Father my son & The Holy Ghost-Creig Morgan.

He’s talking about heaven! More then what we can see! Shouldn’t curse period! 🤨

The most important point to me was, this old man lost his wife and son. That is more than enough to destroy a man. Many would have cursed a God who would let this happen. Many would begin to hate everything, everyone including his own cursed life. Many would have found some solace in a bottle of booze or packet of drugs. But not this old man. He believed. He believed there is more to life than this. He believed in God's mercy and that he would one day be with his wife and son again. He decided to keep on living. Do his best to love others anyway. Yes, even this young boy whom he shared his wisdom with. I believe, too. I believe he made the correct choice.

You mentioning Whiskey Lullaby is ironic. The Bus Driver in that is the same man.

True. You should'nt cuss. Thanks for the apology.

Yeah. I've noticed most people who react to this song, do not seem to understand what the words written in red are. The words of Jesus. If I'm wrong sorry. Great song.

In the beginning of the song , Mr. Wrigley believes and at the end , Ronnie believes, too . Ronnie Dunn was a youth pastor before he was a country star

BAP - Black American Princess.

This song was written years and years ago about a time that was years and years before that.

Old man Wrigley lived in that white house Down the street where I grew up My mama used to send me over with things We struck a friendship up I spent a few long summers Out on his old porch swing Said he was in the war, when in the navy Lost his wife, lost his baby Broke down and asked him one time "How you keep from goin' crazy?" He said, "I'll see my wife and son in just a little while" Mm, I asked him what he meant, he looked at me and smiled Said, "I raise my hands Bow my head I'm findin' more and more truth In the words written in red They tell me that there's more to life Than just what I can see, I believe" A few years later I was off at college Talkin' to mom on the phone one night Gettin' all caught up on the gossip The ins and outs of the small town life She said, "Oh, by the way son Old man Wrigley's died" Later on that night I laid there thinkin' back Thought about a couple long-lost summers I didn't know whether to cry or laugh If there was ever anybody Deserved a ticket to the other side It'd be that sweet old man Who looked me in the eye Said, "I raise my hands Bow my head I'm findin' more and more truth In the words written in red They tell me that there's more to life Than just what I can see" I can't quote the book The chapter or the verse You can't tell me it all ends In a slow ride in a hearse You know I'm more and more convinced The longer that I live Yeah, this can't be (no, this can't be), no, this can't be (no, this can't be) No, this can't be all there is Lord, I raise my hands Bow my head Oh, I'm findin' more and more truth In the words written in red They tell me that there's more to life Than just what I can see (just what I can see), I believe Oh, I (I believe) I believe I believe (I believe) I believe (I believe) I believe (I believe) I believe (I believe) I believe

Loved your comments
