@AnimeOtakuDrew 2 года назад

"He decided he stopped loving her." You guys are usually really good at picking up on the meaning behind songs, but you missed it this time, Jordan. The very first line of the song tells you everything you need to know about it: "He said, 'I'll love you till I die.'" In other words, when the song says, "he stopped loving her today," it's saying that he has died. This is supported by the fact that "they placed a wreath upon his door" and "soon they'll carry him away." The guy the song is talking about never gave up on or stopped loving the woman the song refers to through all the years. And yes, Amber, that was a harmonica. Now my recommendation is my second favorite country song of all time, performed by Tammy Wynette when she and George Jones split up: "D-I-V-O-R-C-E." It'll be a great one for a Female Friday. You need to do a lyric video for that one, and bring some tissues.

@G-grandma_Army 2 года назад

@alanbrock9557 2 года назад

He said "I'll love you till I die", She told him "You'll forget in time" As the years went slowly by, She still preyed upon his mind He kept her picture on his wall, Went half-crazy now and then He still loved her through it all, Hoping she'd come back again Kept some letters by his bed Dated nineteen sixty-two He had underlined in red Every single "I love you" I went to see him just today, Oh but I didn't see no tears All dressed up to go away, First time I'd seen him smile in years He stopped loving her today They placed a wreath upon his door And soon they'll carry him away He stopped loving her today You know, she came to see him one last time Aww, and we all wondered if she would And it kept runnin' through my mind "This time he's over her for good" He stopped loving her today They placed a wreath upon his door And soon they'll carry him away He stopped loving her today

You guys missed the point of the song. You should have played with lyrics. The reason he stopped loving her is because he is dead. They placed a wreath upon his door and soon they will carry him away he stopped loving her today. This is probably the best country song ever made but you have to listen to lyrics. You guys need to react to the song again and please listen to lyrics. It will put tears in your eyes. Many country artist consider this song the best country song of all time. I was hoping that you would get it. George Jones made a mistake in the live version and he flubbed the lines. This song is too great for you to miss please listen to the song again

@christinegelabert1651 2 года назад

@@sheilamatthews7349 I think they also miss the context of it, because in a lot of ways people don't put funeral wreaths on the doors in many places in the country anymore. So it's really not something that their generation grew up with or has been exposed to. They said they're not familiar with country, so they didn't grow up and what will be considered the deep South. That's where this would have been a regular thing for someone like maybe their grandparent to have done. So they would have had the exposure then through an older family member. I'm a New Yorker, but I'm also a GenXer who is raised with parents who were 40 years older than me. So I was exposed to this because of the fact that my parents were much older than my friends. I was born in Brooklyn and raised out on Long Island. BUT it was something we did when my grandfather died. We drove out there and put a wreath on the front of his apartment door in NYC. I think also that they like the music for its quality of how the instruments are played and how they come together. But in some ways they missed it with the content and how literal it actually was. They've really just listen to other songs that weren't as straightforward as this, and none that had to do death. So I think that's kind of why this one through them off a bit.

@misstlc7136 2 года назад

Yep... they thought she went to his house and then he was finally over her. Missed what happened. I have a personal attachment to this song. My moms boyfriend called our home after they broke up and spoke to me and asked me to tell my mom to please listen to this song. He had a massive heart attack at work that night and sadly passed away. It was as if he knew..... Love you possum.

Trust me, I'm speaking from my own life experience. I always seem to get a feeling within myself when my ex-fiance who I pretty much known forever is in trouble. We met at 13, started dating at 15, and we're together on and off for almost 20 years. It's just something in your heart, when you get a strange feeling that you know, then you just know~if that makes sense. I really do believe that in his heart, he felt that he needed to square up everything with her & and clear the record about where he stood with everything between them. ❤️❤️❤️

Yeah, “he said I’ll love you til I die…” and he only stopped loving her because he died...”they placed a wreath upon his door”, and “soon they’ll carry him away”. She came back for his wake/funeral - the narrator wondered if she would, and hoped that he finally got over her, because he died. It’s a song about how steadfast love can be, even if it’s one-sided, although she came back when he passed, so she probably felt something for him - but she left him alone for a long time, yet he loved her until he died. It’s incredibly sad and poignant.

Or, possibly, they're just listening to a new song for the first time ever in front of an audience (probably after being up all night with the new baby) and happened to miss those lines. They didn't comment on the guy being "carried away" either and that's not at all generational. I think they just didn't catch the second half of the hook and that minimized their context for the rest of the song. For a lot of my favorite bands, I could sing you their entire catalog, front to back, in my sleep, standing on my head, with one lip tied behind my back NOW but the first handful of times that I heard songs from them, I guarantee you I only picked up ~45% of the words.

"They placed a wreath upon his door". It used to be tradition to put a wreath of black flowers on the door of a home where a family member had died. "And soon they'll carry him away" the pall-bearers will carry him in his casket.

@KP-zi6jx 2 месяца назад

Funeral homes still put a wreath on your door in South Carolina...but it's a wreath of white flowers, and always "Quiet Zone" signs a few houses away each direction, that's to slow and tone it down out of respect, so then you always look to see who has a wreath on the door. White is symbolic in the South of having passed. At my great-grandmothers for Mother's Day, all the women wore a red rose corsage if their mom was still alive, and a white rose corsage if deceased. And IDK if this is done everywhere, but if you're going down the road and a funeral procession of cars start to pass, we always pull to the shoulder and stop until all of the cars pass...they always have their lights on so you know it's ended. To this day we still do those things here.

George was a wild man. He loved and lived hard. He was a huge star in Country Music but his antics rivaled that of any rock star.

If that's not the truth I don't know what is... What I've gleaned from interviews and articles he hated this song and they had a time adapting it so he could be understood because he was always so drunk. If you are ever looking to find out about backstage antics check out his backstory.

@@jsjazz12 I didn't mean to imply that you didn't. I just see so many young reactors miss things like the guy in this song dieing that it can sometimes bother me. Dirt Road Anthem is a big part of that because I get so aggravated with the swerving like I'm George Jones line being treated like a through away line, and there are a plethora of other things. The man was so much a part of building the genre but so many miss all of who he was influenceing his music.

George Jones is among the country music royalty going back to the 50s. His nick name was The Possum. The gist of the song is that he promised to love her until he died. She left him. He stopped loving her because he died, which is the reason for putting a wreath on his door and carrying him away.

First time I heard this song was a short time after my husband's death. I was with my sis in her car with country and oldies, of course. I suddenly needed air and was fighting for control of my breathing. To this day she hasn't realized the heartache I went through at that moment.

To answer their question, he was one of the top country artist of all time, I think he charted songs in six decades. This was a #1 among many but probably the one most remembered and considered one of the best country songs ever. Not sure you realized he was singing about a guy dying and that's what made the song so emotional.

Please go back and listen again-even report to us again that you understand what the true meaning is in the song WIDELY CONSIDERED TO BE THE GREATEST COUNTRY SONG EVER WRITTEN. A WREATH UPON HIS DOOR-it was the custom to place a wreath on the door of the recently deceased, at least through calling hours and the funeral!

I love classic country because it always told a story and had more heart and soul. This song in particular has great lines. My favorite was, all dressed up to go away, first time I’d seen him smile in years. Poetry of love gone wrong yet still carrying on. The story was he loved her until he died. All dressed up to go away, they placed a reef upon his door and soon they’ll carry him away.

@wildboy365 2 года назад

Lol Jordan asks, “Was George Jones super popular??” Not only was George Jones popular even other country singers list him at the top of their list as one of, if not, the best country singer ever. Someone asked Johnny Cash who his favorite singer was and he replied “You mean besides George Jones?” Waylon Jennings once said “If we could all sound like who we wanted to, we would all sound like George Jones.” And the list goes on and on with all the fans including other singers who consider George Jones one of, if not, the greatest country singer of all time. He had a bumpy career due to alcohol and drug abuse but nothing could keep the fans away. He even made fun of himself with a song called “No Show Jones” because he was bad about not showing up to shows due to being drunk. Something that would cause most fans to never want to see other artists. But the love fans had for him could never be stopped by anything. His career lasted from 1953 up till the year he died in 2013. Y’all haven’t seen anything yet. Look up duets of him and ex-wife Tammy Wynette. Look up the songs “The Grand Tour”, “The Window Up Above”, “She Thinks I Still Care”, “The Door”, and so many I can’t list them all. The man was an amazing singer.

George Jones originally didn't want to record this song even though he thought it was great. He said he thought a song about a man who carried a torch for the woman he loved and only stopped loving her when he died was "just too damn sad" (They placed a wreath upon his door, and soon they'll carry him away, cause he stopped loving her today) This song has consistently ranked as one of the top country songs of all time ever since it was released.

A lot of people miss the theme of the song the first time they hear it because it sounds like such a love song, which in a way it certainly is but, she left him, he continued loving her until the day he died, which is what the song is about. He finally stop loving her because he died, they placed a wreath upon his door and they carried him away. She came back to see him one last time. It is a great song. Alan Jackson sang this song at the memorial service for George Jones and I think Alan Jackson did a great job (there is a video on RU-vid, of Alan Jackson performing at the Memorial Service.
