She lost him in an accident, she was pregnant, and when she said at the end," I saw you"....Remember in the truck when they asked eachother what do you see in your future? She ran off and didn't answer....She answered at the end at the grave when she said, "I saw you".....🥺
Truth. The pregnant thing is up to interpretation though. It looks like it, probability, but could mean she was sick because of the grief she was experiencing. Either way, powerful song and video. Great actors!
This is such a heartbreaking song. The events that probably happens more often than we care to admit. Again, country music is great about telling a story. Even when they’re sad, they do need to be told.
me my ex's mom told me not to come around anymore. so i left ended up crashing into a tree on my way home air lifted. spent 6 weeks in a coma another 5 months in the hospital she came to the hospital once found out i might never walk again so she left but she let that situation destroy her relationship with her mother and now the mother sees i wasnt that bad
this song hurts. i lost my best friend in 2013 and this song has always brought back those memories and what it was like for the first year she was gone.
What I got from the video was that she got pregnant, which I believe is why she was throwing up. And the parents got involved and ran him away. And he ended up getting into a vehicle accident and died. That’s my perspective of this whole thing. In any event the girl is a wonderful actress. I remember the first time I watched this video. I started crying as soon as she started yelling. Life is too short. None of us are promised tomorrow. I know this is just a video, but it’s also very true in real life and it happens.
Agree totally on the storyline.. but I think at the end what she regretted was not telling him the she also saw him in her future.. it's the things we don't say but never get the chance.
@@creinicke1000 I agree! You’re so right. While I may not always do it, I try to tell the people that I love what I think at that moment and not put anything off. But you know, even then we probably end up having regrets anyway. Sad song but a beautiful one though.
I agree with you. You see her cradle her stomach too. I think that is why she asks him what he sees in the future, because she wanted to know before she told him about the pregnancy.
@@LadyGator1983 Then with my imagination in over-drive, I get that she is still in high school (you see her in a classroom) and the boyfriend is probably slightly older, which is why her father disapproved of the relationship. 🤔
What a sad video these two people that do the reaction seem like some of the most genuine people I've seen on the internet what a lovely couple , the world would be a much better place if we had more people like these two
Another vote for Sahara Beth aka skin by them.Also The little girl by John Michael Montgomery.Concrete Angel and Gods Will by Martina Macbride.Whiskey Lullaby by Brad Paisley and Allison Krouse.
My middle son passed away when he was 9yrs old to leukemia and Rascal Flatts was his favorite band. When he was in the hospital he would sing that song My Wish to me. Every time I hear it I cry like a baby!😢
@@melissathomas7402Rascal Flatts was my baby son's favorite band and I didn't know who they were but, I took him to see them when he was 4 then they came out with "My Wish" not long before he got married so, it was the perfect song. I am so sorry about you son!
that beginning sequence rips my heart out EVERY time. So much pain in the scene from the girl her mother and her father. His eyes tell the story that he has no clue how to comfort his baby girl and its ripping him up inside.
This is just one of many songs as to why rascal flatts is my favorite group. Other songs to check out of theirs are Come wake me up Better off Bless the broken road Here comes goodbye Unstoppable Skin Life is a highway Why And the song that got me through the worst time in my life. I had lost my daughter and was heading down a dark path in life and someone in my life used a rascal flatts song to help pull me back. That song is called I won't let go.
I am just an old Irish guy who loves your channel. I was sad during this song by Rascal Flats, but when Mel started crying I lost it! Cried like a little girl!!
Me and my old man talked about life a lot, even when I was younger. One time he gave me an analogy for raising kids. "You can't hold your toddlers hand up the ladder to the slide forever. You have to at some point let them do it on their own and use what you taught them to figure it out for themselves. Even though you're not guiding them at that point. You're still there to catch them when they fail." I look back and he did that even when I became an adult. Moved out at 18. 6 months later my buddy and I got evicted cause we would rather party as young dumb kids. Told my dad. He said I'll help ya unpack, your room is still open. So in short, you have to let your kids use what you have taught them and let them make mistakes so they can grow as their own person, but to be there to help pick up the pieces when they inevitably do mess up and use it as a learning experience.
The dad interfered with this love between two young people, but when he made his daughters boyfriend leave, the boyfriend was killed in an accident?? This is why the daughter was screaming at her dad, her telling him, "you made him leave, I hate you!!" The death of her boyfriend she believes because her dad made him leave, and now she'll never know where her and her boyfriends love could have been.. very sad indeed. 😥😥😥
even further she is pregnant (see how she holds her stomach has morning sickness) I think the father found out that he got her pregnant and chased him away causing him to get into an accident probably because he was distraught and not paying attention while driving. - Thats my take on it anyway
This song hits too close to home for my family. In 2017 my son and his girlfriend/best friend were backseat passengers in their friends car, out enjoying their teen years and on the way back, Sarah wanted to sit on the driver's passenger side because the other window didn't work, she'd picked up smoking at 17, my son didn't like her smoking but agreed and on the way back, trying to make his curfew at home, roads wet after it rained, the driver, lost control and hit a utility pole. My son had reached over to pull Sarah by hit but she was buckled, my son was knocked unconscious, suffered a compound fracture on his left forearm, a broken femur in his left leg but he woke up briefly to recall Sarah making odd noises and woke up in the hospital and then after rushing as fast as we could to get to him and upon arrival, we were told the impact was all on the same side my son had switched Sarah and she was pronounced dead at the scene, from a broken neck as well as internal bleeding, Israel my son didn't know for 3 days as we were told by his surgeon not to tell him until after his surgery due to it possibly causing issues, he'd come out of surgery hurting but thankfully was alright and I couldn't break the news to him and Sarah's brother had to give the devastating news, my son looked right into my eyes and I'll never forget the pain I saw coming from every fiber of his being when his eyes met mine and he cried like I'll never forget, is doing ok today but he has survivors guilt, even though it wasn't his fault, wasn't his time, there was a reason that she wanted to change seats, he tried to talk her out of smoking over and over yet didn't want her angry at him and friends of hers had harrased him relentlessly, telling him it should've been him and to kill himself and as a mother I wouldn't wish such a thing on my worst enemy and also as a mother, I unleashed on the parents of those still 17 year old, telling them that they need to dive deeper into their children's online activity and if he were to do anything to himself, they could be held also liable but my focus has been my son, going through treatment with him etc and he is just starting to live again, I'm seeing his happiness slowly return and the pain fade from his eyes. This song is so hard to listen to but is a great song.
I experienced this when I was a teenager I was madly in love with a girl, but her parents didn't care me because I came from a broken home, and her parents thought I'd never amount bro anything, her parents did everything they could to keep us apart, and it just became to much for me, because it felt like no matter what I did it would not be good enough for her parents, so I broke it off... That was 15 years ago and I still love her just as much as I did when I was 15!
@@debigiroux1811 that's right, me and my husband were married when I was 16 and he had just turned 20 and here we are about to celebrate 42 years together and 3 daughters and 6 grandkids and 1 great grandchild. 😊
The father disapproved because she was pregnant unmarried at a young age. He wasn’t against the relationship he was against her being pregnant at that stage of her life
Mel your reaction was so real my daughters and soninlaw took me to see these guys for my bridal shower it was so awesome 💜💜💜💜you guys brought me Right back to the show thank you thank you 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
This happened to me in the 70's only difference is our baby was murdered in utero. After 43 yrs. i still can't get over her loss it broke me at age 17 who i was then is not who i am now.. A new person emerged when the me i was then died with my baby.. Her Daddy and i still wonder what she could of grown up to be. This song hits me hard.
This is the most played country song on my playlist, and I don't listen to a whole lot of country music. This song, though, won't let you not respond to it. We all know that feeling of things left unsaid, and it was things we really should have said when we had the opportunity.
I'm new here, but I've been a country music fan my entire life. I hope someone informed you, before you started reacting to country songs that country music can lift your spirits, and it can also tear your heart out. I love your videos.
This song kills me. It reminds me of a man who killed himself because of me. Because I didn't know how much I loved him. My family kept me tranquilized for a week. It should have been longer.
Sometimes we need to let our kids make their own mistakes and be there to guide them through the rough times. We love our kids and we do want to protect them but we need to trust them and hope we raised them right. I love this song and most of Rascal Flatts music
Hi Guys. You gotta react to Rascal Flatts "I Loved Her First". It is a most wonderful song and I know you will fall in love with it. It touches everyone.
this was what happened to my life. when my husband died in in an accident, after telling my 9 year old daughter she asked me multiple times to go save daddy, i’m a nurse, after i told her i couldn’t she started hitting me and screaming she hated me and i lied saying i’d never let anything hurt her. it broke me and she didn’t mean it, but her mind couldn’t understand.
Tamaira Cordell The actress' name (teen girl in the video) is Amber Marshall. I agree....She gave a phenomenal performance in this video. 😭💔 (and tbh, this is the only video I can think of where I already have tears in my eyes _before the music even begins,_ lol.)
This is why I really love watching your reaction videos you make me cry and I think everyone needs a cry sometimes. I noticed Mel from another woman I noticed you knew the pregnancy thing first and you looked over at him twice, and he is just reacting to the hurt and everything else so you got a good guy there and God bless you both love your reactions
For the ones asking.......... Yes, the father made the boyfriend leave ( probably because they told her parents that they were pregnant ) so that's why she screams at her father for " hating him and making him leave " . Now, that is the Rascal Flatts video description......... the WRITER of the song , Jeffery Steele says he wrote the song about not having much of a relationship with his father ! Amazing how a video or your interpretation can alter something completely.
@shawn and mel.... LOVE you guys!!! PLEASE do a reaction to Fire Away Chris Stapleton!!!! They lyrics and video are both SO good!! Not the live version, but the video!!
My sister only listen to the music video One time in her life she couldn't do it no more cuz it made her too sad yeah she lost her boyfriend and accident that's why I song was called what hurts the most good job rascal Flatts I was really really deep
They have another song also, called "Skin" you should try. Also, "My Wish" is another great song. The vocals are always spot on. Great review with feelings. THX George
She was pregnant her dad made him leave. she was going to tell him but he died before she could tell him. i lost the love of my life's baby at the hands of other's. But we got through it if you really can get through losing a baby to brutality.
All the actors in this music video are amazing. The girl especially, but as a dad myself. I rewatched the beginning and looked at the dad. The guilt, hurt, and as a dad myself, the hurt isn't for the boy as much as its because you know you just told your lil girl the absolutely worst news in her life. So you are hurting because you know she is going to be hurting. I put myself in to his shoes, and its like maybe I had a falling out with the boyfriend, because I'm just trying to protect my lil girl. She is my whole world, and some boy comes along something about him doesn't sit well with me, or i'm letting my over protectiveness get in the way. But regardless I don't actually wish any harm on the boy.. Then you learn and have to come home and tell your kid that the boy who was her whole world is dead. I know as a dad myself. those tears, and that hate in her voice, hurts more than the punches. He doesn't block them, because you feel guilty for the situation. You might even think you deserve them somewhat. They don't hurt, cause she is so young and uncoordinated, but.. but knowing that the came out of her from extreme heartache and momentary hate. That hurts more than if the blows were coming from professional fighter. Still you know she is falling apart, so you grab her and hold on, and accept the pain, you accept the hate, you wish you could physically absorb all the pain from her, because you would rather live with it than to ever have her experience it. The she finally collapses into your arms, because now the lil girl needs her dad to hold her, and what do you do? you hold her, you caress her head, probably don't speak for fear your voice will set her off. You don't cry even though your dying inside, because she needs either rock to prop her up, or something to throw her hate at, and either way you can be that for her. you have to be that for her in this moment. Finally them mom is able to collect herself enough to take over and can see she about to be sick (whether its pregnancy or just grief) takes her to the bathroom. I know if it were me, i'd of probably left the house walked to the barn or shed, or where ever. Still in ear shot so you can hear your wife if she calls for you, but far enough out so they can't see you fall over finally let it out.
If you haven't heard it already Fast Cars and Freedom is anthor awsome song of theirs. Personally it, and Life is a Highway are my favorite Flatts songs, but they are a very good band.
