As I sat in front of my wife's desk cleaning it out as she went into God's arms August 9th 2021, a simple post it note was in front of me on her cork board. It merely said Rascal Flatts Broken Road she wasn't a country fan and I knew it was left there for me to find and play, it is the most beautiful parting gift my Bride could have possibly have left for me.
I heard this song myself for first time this morning..We find Love, Comfort and Strength in our Saviour in the Difficulties and Hardships of life..It's where the light shines the Brightest,,in the Dark . My Friend,,I lost my Partner to cancer on 16th of September 21..The Love , Joy and Comfort has Never been stronger than since ...
I am not a country music fan, but I can't help but tear up listening to this song. My parents were married for 29 years, and toward the end it got very unhealthy and my father caused my mother to suffer a lot. They split when I was 19 and it was really rough because we didn't really see it coming. My dad was dating up a storm and my mom was just working on healing herself. After a year of being single, my mom found Dave. Dave had been through the same thing in his marriage and has two daughters that are both my sister and I's age. He is a man of few words and doesn't talk about his feelings much, but one day he put this song on while my he and my mom were washing dishes after dinner, and he said "it's like they wrote this for us", and asked her to dance right there in the kitchen. That was around their four-year anniversary, and they have been together for eight-and-a-half years. Dave is now my step-father, and this song just reminds me of how grateful my family and I are to have him in our lives.
On our fifth anniversary, my wife surprised with a celebration party with all our close friends. She sang this song to me. It has so much meaning. Who would have thought that before our 13th anniversary, I would lose her to cancer. I know God wanted her to come home. She is my Angel. I love you Jari, until we are together again.
+David VandenBerg an amazingly precious and inspiring story. I am truly sorry that Jari had to leave you so soon, but I am very thankful that you have the faith that you do about seeing her again, and the positive outlook about seeing the positivity (in memories of her). Much love!
+David VandenBerg im sorry for your loss, jari will always be there in your heart and will be there for you even if you cant see her. God loves you both
5 years ago on the night I met my husband, his buddy had made us get out of the vehicle and made us dance to this song. We fell in love right then and there. Unfortunately that friend passed and I was never able to tell him thank you for introducing me to my soulmate. RIP Jesse, and thank you!!!
I lost my Fiancee on Sept 19,2013 at 49 years old. This song was meant for us. We had it selected for one of our wedding songs. Why for some people is takes time to find the love of your life and then to have them taken so quickly. We often talked about have we wished we could of avoided all the prior misery we went thru and been together earlier in our lives. I miss you so much Honey, I love you forever and eternity.
I dedicate this to my new born daughter . I had a hard pregnancy all around in general & she’s my best friend I’m also a single mom & she’s a blessing I needed. She’s almost a month old 💗😭💗🙏🏼💜
That's beautiful... My husband and I are trying to have another child & I feel if we have one, this song will remind me of him/her... We are in our 40s so the odds are not exactly in our favor but we have prayed for another one...
This song pretty much sums up my life, my husband of 3 weeks was killed in Iraq leaving me and his 1 year old daughter from a previous marriage. 2 years later I have finally found love again and will be getting married in September. But as long as I live I will never forget the first man to ask for my hand in marriage, even when I had breast cancer, Eric Miller. Eric you are never forgotten and your daughter will always know who her daddy was.
It was a week ago that I lost the best blessing in my life my husband this was our song. Now every time I feel sad I listen to our song. This was truly how I felt God blessed the broken road for us to be together. Love you forever. Till we meet again
THIS SONG IS FOR ME. AFTER SO MANY WRONGS I HAD MY BOYFRIEND TOO I JUST MET AND IT WAS A BLESSING IT JUST SHOWS THERE IS SOMEONE FOR EVERYONE AND AFTER ALL THE PAIN THERE IS LIGHT AND ITS BEAUTIFUL
For me, this song has a spiritual meaning. When I think about the lyrics, to me they speak in such a way that relates to a road leading to one's faith. My faith has recently been strengthened, and I know I have still a lot yet to learn about my Creator......and I still have plenty of room to grow in the many years of my future. I thank Him for all the warmth He has given me, especially during recent times when keeping my head up was not what I wanted to do. I love this song so much. :D

This reminds me of my husband. I had been through a lot as a teenager (eating disorders, depression, losing loved ones, abusive boyfriends), then I met him & he helped heal my heart... I thank God for this true love...
I lost my husband right before our 11th anniversary. Too short. But he was my best friend, lover, confidant. I miss him every day. It’s been 20 years, but it feels like yesterday. I love you Babe.
I’ve had abuse verbal mental and physical all around until now we are about to have our one year anniversary together and instead of praying to help find a way I now pray everyday thanking god for the most amazing man in my life
Wish you could come to belize and sing this for me anf my husband at our wedding. We listen to this song and understood why we never met each other until now. Without our painful pass we would have never met each other. The broken road lead us straight for each other.
I am so profoundly and completely in love with this song !! I can endlessly listen to it and never get tired of it !!!!! This much I know its true... That God blessed the broken road that led me straight to you!!!
@@Nikolai18A have you read the Bible in its entirety as to realize its true context? Or is this something you have been taught or heard from someone else? You don't have to answer publicly, but I encourage you to explore those questions.
@@Nikolai18A When the bible was translated into english from hebrew the word slave has a different meaning also meaning servant in hebrew so more or less when it seemed like it was condoning slavery and telling you to accept it the meaning was telling you to be a servant and humble yourself, And in the Bible it DOES NOT condone genocide that is one of the 10 commandments.
I miss you Ben and I am so sorry for everything I did years ago. but I'll continue to listen to this song and pray that God blesses this broken road, and leads you back to me😢 I love you, and I never stopped
My husband and I had unhealthy first marriages . We met and were married for 43 years when God called him home in 2010. This was our song. It was played when we said good bye for the last time. The words ( God bless the broken road that led me straight to you ) is Engraved on our head stone. When I leave this Earth I will lie beside him under those words.
Every time my heart was broken, every time there was pain it was all northern starts pointing me straight into the one who loves me and died for me on the cross.... My Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. Glory be to you!!!! Not my will but your will be done. I am ready.....
I set out on a narrow way many years ago Hoping I would find true love along the broken road But I got lost a time or two Wiped my brow and kept pushing through I couldn't see how every sign pointed straight to you That every long lost dream lead me to where you are Others who broke my heart, they were like northern stars Pointing me on my way into your loving arms This much I know is true That God blessed the broken road That led me straight to you Yes it did I think about the years I spent just passing through I'd like to have the time I lost and give it back to you But you just smile and take my hand You've been there you understand It's all part of a grander plan that is coming true Every long lost dream led me to where you are And others who broke my heart they were like northern stars Pointing me on my way into your loving arms This much I know it's true That God blessed the broken road That led me straight to you Yeah And now I'm just rolling home Into my lover's arms This much I know is true That God blessed the broken road That led me straight to you That God blessed the broken road Ooh, ooh That led me straight to you
My step dad would sing this to me to help me fall asleep when I was younger, it played at my aunts wedding and I had to leave because I started to tear up, it’s amazing how much value and emotion someone can put into a song
Awee thanks my chubby boy 10/17/2016...thanks for this song and showing me that their is still a wonderful man out there...for me and with god in our life...we cross path unexpectedly...ur my blessing....thanks for keeping me never feeling alone...and needed...
This is beautiful poetry for all those who have loved and lost there is someone for everyone and the broken road will surely lead you to that ONE. Thank you Rsacal Flatts for creating something our hearts can thank God with.
This was our wedding song, it told our story completely and still does. I am battling breast cancer, had to have a bilateral mastectomy 4 days after turning 41. My husband has been standing beside me on this heavy journey. God blessed me completely
Rascal Flatts, I heard that you're coming back to Buffalo for your farewell tour guys. I'm sorry to see you go. I hope you come back soon. You've been doing great since day one with ALL your wonderful singing. Keep up the good work y'all.
Its amazing how many people get emotional to this song.. its such a beautiful song and honestly this song always makes me cry because i love it and it gives you time to think about think about things that happened in the past or what your life is like right now.. (: and its an amazing creation to see people get emotional to this song because of how it was made.. tears of joy.. sadness.. happiness
this is my wifes favorite song...she cries every time too...and I love it..even though i am a metal head...because this is her song...yanno what i mean ?
This song hold a piece of my heart... me, my sister and my mom have been through a really rough patch in our lives and we wouldn't be where we are today without this song
This song hits me so hard. It was the song that reminds me of my favorite cousin who died in a motorcycle accident when this song was at the top of the chart. We graduated high school together, played ball together, got in trouble together and figured we would grow old and tell stories together on the front porch as old farts. It wasn't part of the grander plan...RIP Brian Goodin...I will always love you cuz!
This song reminds me of losing someone special in life..a spouse, a girlfriend, a boyfriend and reuniting with them in the Afterlife for I believe with all of my heart that the love that we have in our hearts go with us when we pass. I love that lyric..."God bless the broken road that leads me straight to you". That broken road is death and God's love is the path that leads us back to the beloved one that had your heart. I truly believe this.
You and me both. It really helps the emotions out when you feel it and Rascal Flatts really has a way with their songs. A way that can make you happy and sad 💞
This song helped me reconnect with my parents this song means so much when I was going down the wrong path my buddy shared this song with me ever since when I feel lost or I need Gods help with anything in life I will listen to this sone and it brings me back to him can I get a amen
This song perfectly describes my husband and I. After a failed marriage and a very bitter divorce, I wasn't looking for anyone. But fate brought my now husband and I together. He was a friend from high school and hadn't seen each other in over 25 years. We reconnected and have been together since. I feel we had to go through all we have to get to where we are now. He is the love of my life.
this song describes how i feel so well after searching for love for so long and being used and abandoned and friend-zoned and abused' i just always thought i wasnt good enough for anybody i thought there would never be a girl for me out there and then it was like an angel from heaven just came and saved me from the misery that just kept getting worse and now im the luckiest man on the planet and i currently have the best girlfriend ever she means the world to me and i dont know what id do without her, she has made me the happiest ive ever been and ever will be and i will never take her for granted because she is a gift to me and i want to do everything in my power to be the best boyfriend possible and i want to make her feel special and as happy as she has made me
+Christopher Gunson , marry her then........jeeezzzzzzzzzzzz. I'm going back to the one I left behind 37 years ago.........he will not let me go this time!
This was the song I walked into on my wedding day and it still make me think to this day and today we have been married for four years today and I can't ask for nothing better in life. When I find myself having a hard time in life I turn this song on and it makes me think how thankful I am to be alive because I was going down the wrong road and I heard this song and it make me think of the past that I did have and I am grateful for the lovely husband I have today
I'd like to dedicate this to my friend Nikki Miller in Clarion, Pennsylvania. We may not have hooked up, but her compassion and friendship to me means a lot to me. I was a hurting soul who turned his life God and found a friend who was hurting completely different from me, but we found each other and from there a friendship blossomed, that I would never give up!
My husband and I sang this at our wedding reception. Great song. We've both had our hearts broken by "Northern Stars". Got to give Rascal Flatts credit for making people's failed romances sound like positive steps in the right direction. They can be if you learned from your mistakes.
Thanks bro, my advice to anyone, If you care or have feelings for another person, take a risk and tell them or have regrets for the rest of your life. Either way you have nothing to lose and at least if it doesnt work out, you know you tried and I know anyone can live with that.
I read this song to my soon to be husband as part of my vows. I was 54 and he was 61... it's our story....I have the words on our fridge... I still to this day cannot read them or listen to this song without crying.... it's so true.... he was worth the wait.... thank you for the beautiful song RF... Phoebe and Gerry from Lakeside
My wife Nancy And I celebrated our 8th wedding anniversary today she has 2 children from a previous marriage, and I have 1 from a previous marriage, God Bless the Broken Road is/was our wedding song, the lyrics fit us to a tee.
this song is for me and my amazing husband who I love love more than words than can say . My world was shattered after 10 years of domestic violence. My husband is my amazing grace.
If my husband and I had been able to have a first dance after our wedding (court ceremony, no reception). We would have chosen this song it was a second marriage for both of us and neither of our first marriages ended and nicely as they could have. I feels this song fits us perfectly.
I STILL feel this daily..... Even after everything that's torn us apart... Even if we are no longer "together" as I would like to be, I will NEVER stop wishing him all the best in everything and that he finds his true happiness in life.
This is my husband and my wedding song. We shared a small group of friends but never hung out with them at the same time. Our friends tried to introduce us SO many times, but we always resisted. Neither of us really feeling the "setting-up" thing. We both had other horrible relationships during that time. In a great twist, we ended up meeting each other 2 years later without any help from our friends. Its been almost 9 years since we got married. Its funny how our friends knew we were right for each other. But we both agree that we met when we were supposed to.
I first kissed you during this song. I thought I found true love but now all I feel is heartbreak listening to this. I thought the broken road that was my life could be smooth from then on but no. It's just broken again.
Thank you for RMR- “Rascal” song. I wouldn’t have know about this song If it wasn’t for their remake. I know that RMR’s version was taken down from RU-vid and other music service because of copyright problems. But I think it helps the original version get more fans from a different demographic. I hope something gets worked out. They’re both different songs with different meaning.
I sang this to my husband after he proposed. He listened so closely. When done he pulled me onto his arms almost in tears... "Its like it was written for us! This is our song!" Now that i am faced with loosing him.... I can't help think, the road to finding each other was way to long, compared to the road we walked together. Never take for granted, every moment you have with those you love.... My husband passed on 12/9/23.... This road got really lonely fast...
I made a Facebook post about something I've never said before in my entire life to this song Thank You Rascal Flatts ~namaste ~sending you love light joy and gratitude for your journey wherever you may find you self on that Journey ...Dana
The love of my life sent me here ❤. The way we met most wouldn't understand but what's meant to happen doesn't need any explanation. I love that man to death 💋
To me the song is about the Joy that is found! I got divorced & I thought "How am I going to get through this..."? Then God, helped me get off that "broken road"! God put Pam into my Life! I couldn't be any happier! To me; the song is about the joy that was found after a
