Tim McGraw - Live Like You Were Dying | Reaction 

I personally found out I had cancer when I was 17... and this song had just came out... it came back when I was 19, but I’m a survivor and warrior... this song holds a special place in my ❤️... it got me through it all! I cried, I lived, and I conquered... 🙏🏼💪🏼

A couple of years ago, I was told I will only live 5-10 years. *funny* I bought a guitar, I'm writing a book, and I'm enjoying time with my grandchildren. I won't regret a thing.

His dad MLB Player Tug McGraw and the relief pitcher who threw the strike out that won the Phillies the 1980 World Series, had been diagnosed with brain cancer ultimately dying when Tim came out with this song. Which is why this song was so important to him.

His dad was Tug McGraw a famous baseball player. Tim didn't find out until he was a young adult.

I've been fighting throat cancer for the last 3 years...so I know what it's like to hear that kind of news...to face mortality. Unfortunately, I've been so sick that I couldn't go sky diving, Rocky Mountain climbing or went 2.7 seconds on a bull named Fu Man Chu, but I have tried to love deeper, speak sweeter, give forgiveness I'd been denying. It's not always easy...I have my days where I'm angry, sad, scared..where I've been so tired of fighting that I wanted to give up....but I'm NOT going to let this beat me! It WON'T win! Moral of the story (and song)...don't wait until the day you hear that kind of news to live life...to love with all you have...do it now & do it every day!

Tug McGraw MLB pitcher was his dad, was on the mound when Philadelphia Phillies won the world series 1980.

He preformed this when his dad was dying of cancer. Later on people said he was freaking out back stage, when asked why he said "this is the kind of song that will define my career" thats how important it was

Chris Stapleton singing Tennessee Whiskey! You will not regret it!

Please do more country music!!! Country music has such heart!

To be a club member of the Cancer club is a special membership. I had stage 3b lung cancer six years ago. This song nails it to perfection. But the song is more than just about dying from cancer. It tells ALL of us to sit, stop, and reflect on being the best person you can be, because the reality is... we are all dying. Every one of us has a date with destiny. Live your life to the fullest, and be kind to one another along the way.

One of the best lyrics written ever. I like this a lot.

BEST SONG EVER by Tim McGraw and this song still moves me every time I hear it! This is how I became a HUGE fan of his!!!!!!!!

His dad is the famous ball player , Tug McGraw , that didn’t have time for his son . His Son took his father in his home and cared for him till his death .

"Take care of your body like you're gonna live forever. Take care of you soul like you're gonna die tomorrow." Words to live by. Yes, I think I'd want to know. Time to make peace, time to say goodbye.

When I was around 11 I was diagnosed with a rare blood disorder ( classified as a progressive incurable blood cancer) and was told I wouldn’t make it to 30 and I’m 31 and going strong .... I accepted death back then and it was truely hard but I’ve always loved the saying “ death is a tax we all will pay to live” no one knows when there time is up ... every day is a gift ... every moment and every person ... don’t let the fear of death stop you from living 🥰😍

After having a stroke at work in 2012 and then a massive pulmonary embolism in 2016 I was told I have a lump on the bottom of my right lung. I decided to just live life for however long I'll be here and enjoy my kids and grandkids every chance i can.

i love the clear chair and white room ... it's like the pearls gate subtext,

You may become a country fan.. what I love about country is the songs tell a story.. the old cliche is basically true about country.. but I feel the emotions in country songs. Plus they don't take themselves too seriously either.. check out Tim's "Fishing" song. It's FUN!!

Tomorrow is promised to no one. I've had several dear death experiences...it challenges you. Love this song.

We are all dying sometimes sooner than later. Live your life to the fullest that's why they call it the present. Live the present, life happens! Each moment is a gift to us and we need to share it with others!

His dad was Tug McGraw, World Series Champion with the Phillies I believe in 1980. His father walked out of the family when Tim was a child & they finally made-up when Tug got the diagnosis

On the question of death, I’ve always lived by this. “I don’t fear death, but I’m not in a hurry to get there.”-Stephen Hawking

Great song. If I knew I was dying, I would make the rest of my life about no regrets. Live, laugh, love

Love Tim McGraw Live Like You Were Dying

This country music makes me cry I know a lot of people that listen to it ,but when I start looking around for rope I know I need to stop!😂😂😂 Life is short enough to cry all day.🤗

Bro I love your diversity my friend. I’m an NF guy all the way but your reactions for him is the reason I subscribed and continue to respect u. Keep on keeping

His mother was a groupie and met the famous baseball player, Tug Mcgraw. Tim was the result. He didn't meet his real dad until he was in his teens. Tug didn't know about Tim.

Tim McGraws dad was a very famous baseball player. Tug McGraw used to play for the Detroit Tigers.

Another good Tim McGraw song is Real Good Man.

New to your channel. I love Tim McGraw. This is by far one of my favorite songs of his. I've seen him in concert once and loved it. Would I want to know I'm dying? To understand my decision, allow me to give you some context. I used to be a secretary in a hospital in Palliative Care and in Oncology (cancer)/Internal medicine. I saw a lot of death. Young, old, expected, unexpected, cancer, AIDS and everything in between. I've lost family and friends. Some were old, some still in school, some knew, some didn't. A few even died in their sleep. When I think about them, about the patients and their families. Some left family, some had no family, and a few were estranged from their families. Only regrets people ever expressed were to not make amends, to not let people know how they felt. If it was me, no matter what I was dying from, I most certainly would want to know. I'd want the time to spend with those who meant the most to me. To make amends if need be. To forgive others. I do my best to live like I'm dying. I do my best to always say nice, sweet positive things to people. If I can't, then I don't say anything. I move forward. I've loved this song since it came out and I love it as much now. Sometimes I wonder why I'm here and somebody else isn't. Why this friend or family member are gone. I know those who died too soon would give anything for one more day. I use that to remind me to live my life to the fullest.

Hell yes I would want to know! I've been living my life on "safety" for so long that if I knew for sure that this was the end I like to think I'm going to go all out and make my mark in some way or another.

Another great song by Tim McGraw is Where The Green Grass Grows. =)

His dad was Tug McGraw baseball player who passed away

Awesome song and WORDS to live by

I don’t listen to a lot of country, but this is one of my songs I have on a playlist dedicated to my Mom’s memory along with several others. As far as knowing, I definitely think after my experience with losing my Mom, I was glad we had a “pre-warning” and had 20 months to live the best we could together, especially considering that our relationship had been strained many times throughout before. It was a gift of time for us to make amends. Kind of like this song references in the “live like you were dying”, so many people don’t do so many things they probably would if they knew their time was limited. Me being through cancer myself, I know this same feeling. I always speak as truthfully as I can and fear nothing, like I used to. One really good country song I like if you haven’t checked it out is “Humble and Kind” also by Tim McGraw. ✌️

Song has a good message for all of us

I've always said that if I get incurable cancer or a brain tumor that's going to kill me or something, I would have a party with all my friends say goodbye and the next day I would disappear into the woods never to be heard from again.

Great commentary as usual Doc Rich! One of those songs that's extremely poignant, powerful message that just about everyone can relate to on some level... either regarding a lost loved one, or a reflecting on their own life and Future.

Tim did not meet his Dad until he was an adult, so no that is not him & his dad in the pic. Another really beautiful song and video by him is 'Humble & kind'. Soooooo good.

Tug McGraw was a pitcher for the Phillies

You should check out “the little girl” by John Michael Montgomery It’s about child abuse Another song that cuts pretty deep is called “Here comes goodbye” By rascal flats

the world needs more people who are willing to reach across and see life from other peoples view point.. keep it up... “When you die, Die on “E”…. Leave no Dream behind… Leave NO Opportunity behind! Accomplish everything you can.” -Eric Thomas

His dad was a pitcher for the Philadelphia Philly's

His dad was tug McGraw relief pitcher for the phillies

Please please please react to "Skin" (Sara Beth) by Rascal Flatts

This song touches home with me. I've always loved it but makes me cry Everytime I hear it! 10 yrs ago I was given 10yrs to live. Hardly anyone knows this. But last year my blood work was not good. So I didn't go back I don't want to be given a time line of when it's my time. Only God knows when it's my time. So within those 10yrs I have had major car wreck where a fence post went thru windshield and stopped 1/2 inch from my head, major heart break, house burn, another heart break, and not knowing WHY AM I STILL HERE?? Still have yet to find out that answer, BUT IM HERE. I don't want modern medicine which is required for your liver. I push myself every day to get up go to work (which is very physical) but I think that's what keeps me going. I'm not gonna live by that date and time stamp any longer, I REFUSE TO!! This is my life and I have became VERY HUMBLE AND GREATFUL FOR WHAT I DO HAVE AND FOR ANOTHER DAY!! 🤔🥺🙃😉

Yes that is his Dad.. He was adopted, before his Dad died, he found his Dad, the Dad was a professional Ball player... Faith was adopted too..

If I was dying, is want to know so I could work on my bucket list.

I'm totally with you. I want to be skipping along blissfully unaware and then drop. I do not want to know. If I can't fix it, no need to have to worry about it. Also, I've never seen the point of jumping out of a perfectly good plane.

The only regrets I would have would be things I didn't try that I should've. If you take chances in life sometimes good things happen and sometimes bad things happen. But if you never take a chance nothing happens. ❤

Dude you must go skydiving it will blow you away! Just the plane ride is worth it than to jump out and see our beautiful Earth amazing

This song reminds me of my dad he died from cancer.

I loved this reaction. Your insight was amazing 😊

You should react to Humble and Kind by Tim McGraw

His father was famous MLB pitcher Tug McGraw.

My dad had cancer & his odds weren't good. I decided in that moment we as a family would make ever moment count, always say I love you, huge a bit tighter. As hard as it was, those 9mths we had with my dad were so precious. On the other side my mom died suddenly again thankfully due to my experience with dad I cherished my mom. It's devastating either way.

Hell yes! I would say stuff to the people I love and strangers? AND TO THE ONES I LOVE AND NOT GIVE 2 SHITS WHAT THEY THINK!

Love this song

Doc, We have a day we are born, and a date that we die. They are written on every tombstone and between those dates is a dash. That dash is ours. That dash is everything we do between those two dates. We are all dying from the moment we are born, LIFE is terminal buddy.

Words to live by during the Plandemic of 2020 ☮️✌️

his Dad was Tug McGraw the professonal pitcher fr the Phillies

watched 2 of ur videos liked them both gotta follow you keep doing what ur doing

This used to be one of my go to karaoke songs! Absolutely love this song!

We played this on deployment and it broke me down like down down.... Now it got me again

The worst part is we are always living as if we Dying. We could die any day at any time.

That is everyone’s goal. To die in your sleep, as an old man/woman.

Tug McGraw..rest in piece good sir

Just came across your channel. You seem like a down to earth real dude. “Die on E”. Big quote! Keep it up big dog!

Maybe no mountain climbing but absolutely more time out in nature .... there are still beautiful places in this world, and being at those places just makes you feel better, happy even........ whereas the concrete jungle most of us live in does not

Commenting at the 4:00 mark...don't know yet what is said in the rest of the video. I lived this song...my dad was in his early 40's when he got the news and passed at 49. I was 18 when he died. I live every day with the same mindset you have, "I don't want to know, let me live my life". 7 years ago, I was in a head-on collision with a city bus that sent me to the hospital in an ambulance, I managed to walk away with some airbag burns on my face and a bruised retina. My 36th birthday is coming up pretty quick and I am still making the most of the "here and now". Life can turn on you in an instant, make the most of it while its here.

I wasn’t given that option. I just found out 2 weeks ago and all I can do is make the best of the short time I have left. It’s not easy. I hope you get to go the way you want.

Honestly. Id like to know if i was dying. So that i could make the most out of my life. Id try to go back and talk to my family. Be a better friend to everyone.

I had a huge health scare & after what I went thru with my parents I decided to write letters to my people. I wanted them to never question my love for them, it's ok to grieve but not too long cause we'll be together again, & to remember to cherish the people you love cause we're not guaranteed tomorrow. Thankfully, I made it thru & there still sitting with my will & hopefully won't need to be opened for a very long time.

I want to die in my sleep, like my grandfather. Not screaming like the other people in the car he was driving.

Yes they are picture of his dad but the kids are his 3 daughters Tim dad live with him on his farm in a guest house his final yrs Tim and Faith took care of him until he died in 2004 that is when Tim wrote the song

I love Tim McGraw BACK WHEN

I also have brain cancer. I found out at 37 after having a grand mal seizure. It’s very hard to know. What hurts the most is that I have 2 kids that will leave behind. I hope to not suffer.

We almost lost our daughter in ‘99. She was 2. We went a long time not knowing if we’d have her day to day. You live differently. So yes I’d want to know. But I live like it is my last because no one is promised a tomorrow I am scared of heights AND planes. But I went sky diving. It was fun. Still afraid of heights and flying but I did it. Skydiving was fun.

I'd want to know keeping it to myself as hard as it would be so i could get some things in order for loved ones that would be the hardest thing ever

In 2020 I was diagnosed with three possibly by life threatening illnesses and earlier this year I was diagnosed with cancer and not long ago I'm talking a month ago I was diagnosed with another one I look at my little baby boy who just turned 11 and I asked myself will I be around to see my grandchildren

His dad was a baseball player. Tug McGraw.

After having cancer, I get this song. Good reaction.

Doc! You always have deep reactions, I love your responses 😊

I’m dying on my feet, or in my sleep, and my wife is fully aware of my wishes. If I have a stroke or something and the doctors ain’t positive I’ll come back, pull the plug. If some guy shoots me, so be it. Not doing chemo, bump that. I die sleeping or fighting… or i hope so.

That little moment you had about not wanting to know reminded me of the story of the cyclops. In some myths the cyclops traded an eye for the ability to see the future, but they were tricked, they were only allowed to see a very limited future, the exact moment of their own death.

Tim's real Dad was Phillies Pitching Great Tug McGraw

I was gunna comment but the song says it all

I'm with you. I told my Dr. if I am sick I would rather hear it from St. Peter. :-)

I’d wanna know. Let my loved ones know how much I love them without telling them I’m dying. Give that waitress a gigantic top, give the stars her that smile. Forgive. FORGIVE

Im almost 30 and i haven't live my best life but i will

I really like you! Wish you all the best in 2021!

Mountain climbing nowadays is more like a hiking trail..you just keep walking, the next thing you know you are sitting on the top of world

you should react to tim McGraw and faith hill like we never loved at all. i kinda wanna know if i was dying :(

This song was in honor of his father Tug McGraw.

Great reactions. Country music is really good at making you think about life and what you are doing
