Country music has a way of telling our life stories. Trace is really good at this story telling. I'm 56 years old, retired and living in Texas now. I have three grown daughters with families of their own now. My wife and I just returned home from 4 days at Disneyland with two of our daughters and four of our grandkids. My mind often wanders back over the years! The lyrics where the old plumber is telling the young mom captured in the midst of chaos with toddlers that she's going to miss these days rings so true! I'd give anything to be woken up in the middle of the day after working all night by the shrill screams of my 3 girls laughing and playing with their mom! It used to annoy me and now all I can think is that I was such a fool for not getting out of bed every single time to go join in on the laughter!
I lost my dad in November.... I've always loved this song ... I'm a father of a 15yo and was just telling him how much he was going to miss this time in is life....I was just sitting here watching your reaction and JUST LOST IT OUT OF NOWHERE.... A GROWN MAN CRYING LIKE A CHILD........ THIS SONG HITS SO MANY FEELS... Love this reaction
My father use to say to me! " Enjoy this time because someday you'll look back and realize that these were the best days of your life... This song really hit home to me as I'm almost 62 yrs old now and I don't know where the year's have gone and Dad was right.. Miss you Dad! ❤️
Time always flies by, faster than you realize in the moment. I'm up in Canada, I'm turning 45 tomorrow with two kids. I'm also living in a longterm care center due to a very aggressive illness. One thing I learned long ago is you've got to take your time, enjoy every minute for what it is, and love your loved ones hard! Because you will miss those times that seemed so difficult. Love them hard.
You two are amazing people and I'm definitely sure your excellent parents and she will miss it. They all will and or/do. I know you have guided this young lady in everything she will need to make it out there and, she I'm sure without doubt knows you both will always will have her back on the daily still guiding and always and forever loving her.❤️👍
This song always touches my heart and brings a tear to my eye. My baby is 35 and wow did it all go by so fast!!! When she graduated from college I moved to a small town about an hour away from where we lived. She decided to move with me. While living there she never gave me an indication of liking or disliking it. Shortly after she got married I left that house. Not that long ago she told me how much she loved living there and how much she missed that house. Totally took me by surprise!
I think listening to this as a parent it hits more. I have 3 kids. 2 are already moved out. the last one is 17. I think we have all said "Can't wait for them to get older". Now they are, it is so hard to realize they are so grown up. I also think we have all said "I can't wait to grow up and move out. No one understands how tough it is! I love this song. You guys are great!!!
Trace Adkins is a very kind and generous person who just this past weekend gave a free concert in our Tornado stricken town of Mayfield Ky which was devastated and destroyed on December 10, 2021. an EF4 tornado left 24 people dead and at least 200 people injured in Graves County Kentucky, according to the National Weather Service. Trace stopped here to help raise money and bring awareness as our people work and struggle to rebuild, on his " Somewhere in America Tour". Yes were gonna miss this but we will rise up better than ever.
My favorite songs by the gentle giant Trace Adkins are You’re Gonna Miss This, Then They Do, Just Fishin’, I’m Tryin’, Watered Down, and Every Light in the House.
Know what y'all are going through. Our youngest daughter is now 22. When she said she wanted to move out, I had a much harder time than my wife. It still brings tears to my eyes every time I hear this song. Great reaction!!!
Makes me cry every time. Doesn't matter how many times I hear it. I have one 19 and one 10 and I miss it all. I miss being a kid with my mom. Miss when my babies were babies. And you don't know until years later how much you do miss it. Now my mom is gone and I hurts even more hearing this song but it has the truest storyline ever.
I lost my mother in 2020... the person I cherished, loved and admired most... every time I listen to this song I flash through all the beautiful moments we lived through together when I was a little kid, and then I'm crying my heart out... beautiful song! Indeed, we need to learn to stop from time to time and just enjoy the "now" and be in the present for a while... savor life, if you will, because one moment you're having dinner with loved ones and the next day you might be sitting at the table all alone...
My daughter is in her senior year but there are two moments I’ll never forget watching her walk away when I was ready to go and us both crying and blowing kisses from her window to me at the car. Second is the huge bone crushing hug I got when she had her first visit home. It’s an important and emotional time. Your reaction made me emotional with memories!!
My youngest is my 19 year old daughter in college in Chicago. I'm a 51 year old man, and I ball like a baby on this song and every time she posts on SM. Great reaction, I can barely see to type through the tears. Thank you guys!
Shawn and Mel react to Trace Atkins Going fishing the video but as his little girl in it great video !! Oh and also One Hot Mama 😂 that's a good one please tall will enjoy them all
i totally understand you 2 i have 3 boys 2 are in there 30''s now and the youngest is about to turn 30 this month and songs like this when you a parent always hits home
I'm crying with you both! I've been there 4 times.😭 but I'm happy to say, all of my children are doing fine. Wait until the grand babies come. That's going to be another chapter to your life.. I love this song. Much love and respect from Las Vegas
I am the mother of 3 aged 33, 32 and 31 and am now a grandmother of 3 and they are 14,12 and 11 and I still wonder where the years have went and I miss my children being small. Time flies by to fast. Enjoy every moment and treasure the time with your children.
I'm the youngest of 5. When I was in high school my older brothers and sisters tried to tell me that 'Your parents are the best friends you'll ever have." and I thought they were crazy.. Took me too many years to learn how right they were. All times are good times. You have to enjoy each and everyone that comes your way and be thankful for it.
When we are young we want to hurry to the next stage. When we are older we want to slow time and look back. We really need to enjoy the moment you are in because it doesn't last long. Each stage brings its own wonderful joys.
The first time I heard this song my sons were 36 and 23. I miss their young years more than I can explain. Needless to say, this song truly hit a personal place in my heart. Now I'm Grandmama Coco to 4 grandchildren, ages 16, 14, 7 and 5. Where have the years gone? Life is so very fleeting. Embrace each and every moment. You're gonna miss this!
This song says it all. I’m gonna miss this. I’d love to have my boys, 46&42. Back when they were babies just one day. Your so right I’m gonna miss that. Love your reaction 💕
Hi Shawn and Mel, this song always gets to me too every time I hear it. I don't have children of my own but I helped to raise three of my nieces. One is 36, the other 20 and the baby 17. They are all three at the various stage of this song. I love them so. When the oldest left and went out into the world it was so hard for my husband I, seeing her excitement yet all the while knowing that it was going to be so much harder than she could imagine. She is a "I have to put my hand on stove and burn it before I believe you that its hot" and a "leap before she looks " kind of girl. We just kept loving her and kept pointing her toward her dreams. She is a now a talented artist with her own thriving business and is married with a young toddler. She amazes me how she navigates through her world and I am so proud of her. How I long for those days though when it was just the two of us, staying up to midnight laughing and watching old movies and she was unencumbered by life. But I wouldn't change it either. Although sometimes I look at the woman is now: someone's mother and wife and I miss the girl she was when she was "our girl."
Love this reaction guys. Got a almost 4 year old. He loves when me and him sing to songs in the car. He even gets mad when me and his mom are talking during a song. She always told me about getting sad when she thinks about him getting older, and I never understood, until the other day when I realized there will be a day that he won’t want me to sing with him anymore. I already miss it, and it hasn’t even happened. Being parents is a whole different experience that I wouldn’t trade for the world
I'm a mom of 4 daughters that have all flown away. I sit here alone watching this with tears in my eyes too. Hubby's gone on to be with his parents in heaven so I truly sit here alone watching this thinking...... You're gonna miss this, you're gonna want this back. Your gonna wish those days, hadn't gone by so fast....
I’m a HUGE Trace Adkins fan. This song still tears me up every time I hear it and my sons are 35 and 28. But our kids will ALWAYS be our babies. Trace has a long list of great songs: Then They Do (you will need some tissues for this one) Love Walks Through The Rain I’m Tryin’ I Wanna Feel Something Arlington (means a lot to me because we are a retired Army family) Chrome (this one is fun) And so many more! PS: the old man at the end of the song is Trace’s actual father.
Trace just released a video a few hours ago to his new song with Melissa Etheridge “Love Walks Through The Rain”. You will love it!!! Please, please, please do a reaction to it. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-MlomKTqly5A.html
My wide passed when my son and daughter were 8 and 6 years old. I raised them alone. I'm in Ohio. My son lives in Oregon and my daughter is in Florida. I .miss them.
I love seeing a strong man show emotion when it comes to something that reminds him of his kids. So many men just push down those feelings thinking it makes them weak.
I find myself thinking about when i was young a lot lately. All the things we take for granted and people we treated badly. I wish i could go back and fix it. I can't though but i do miss so much and realize i didn't know how much i would miss it.
If only I could go back to the days when my sons were little. 😢💜 lost my youngest one 10 years ago and my oldest has blessed me with three great grandchildren. This is what life is all about.
Oh, wow! That was a REAL reaction. I know exactly what you guys are going through. I cried for weeks after my daughter left home for college. I couldn't even walk by her bedroom without breaking down. It gets better, but, yes, we DO miss this.
It’s amazing how the cycle keeps turning! It difficult as a parent to watch your children grow up. Mine is 29 now but I miss him so very much & when he still calls me “MAMA” I know he feels it as well. Love you both & your reaction, I’ll pray for your children 🙏 God bless
I'm an old woman, in my young days getting away from home and highschool would never come fast enough. My best life has been my elderly life. I love it and know I am blessed by my Lord and Savior. I have found piece of mind and soul. Thank God I'm old...❤️🌹❤️🌹❤️
This song always gives me the feels! Empty nesters remember these days. My daughter is grown now but she'll tell you that she wasn't in a hurry to grow up.
My little girls are still close by and I see them often. The ones that make me fall apart are the ones that are gone now. Grandparents, parents, brother and sisters. I'm the last one. Miss them every day.
Watching you all, got me going too… I have 3 boys. (33, 24, 17). And I’ve learned that the moment you’re living in, are the good times… Because one day they’ll be distant memories, and you’ll miss them (this). Great reaction. Thank you for sharing your emotions.
I'm 21 (about to turn 22 on March 30th) and I've been out of school for about 3 1/2 years now and I still miss and I wish those days hadn't gone by so fast... I wish I could wake up at 6 a.m. tomorrow and go to school and see my friends and play in the band as well as do a couple of other things again or that I never got to do at all...but then I'm gonna wake up tomorrow and realize that I don't have to go to school anymore and days are just gonna be one giant question mark of what I'm going to do... I'll be starting college soon so I guess I'll have that to look forward to but it'll be online... I'll still miss the old days though...the days when it was just the adults and not the kids that had to worry about things... When we were free...
