I took my dads ashes up to an overlooking bluff in the blue ridge mountains. Sang this to him the best I could as I placed him in those boulders. I shed a tear every time I hear it. Rest Easy Dad.
Bless your heart Dave. What a beautiful tribute to your Dad! I lost my amazing Dad FEB 20, 2005. His passing left a huge hole in our family that will never be filled. Hold tight to all the great memories. ❤️❤️❤️
OK, I know I am a bit late with this reply,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, Alison Krauss has 27, Vince Gill has 22 and Ricky Skaggs has 15 Grammy awards not too shabby
Vince Gill and Patty Loveless did this at George Jones funeral, its on you tube, I bawled all the way thru it. Vince is a humble man that loves with his whole heart, and he loved George Jones.
I still remember him and Patty Loveless doing this at George Jones' funeral service, and bawling like a baby.😕 He could hardly get through it because he was pretty close to George, but Patty was there to give him support and pick up the vocals when he couldn't get it out. Probably one of the most emotional songs Vince has ever written... and one of the best! Great review man, keep 'em coming!🎼😁👍👍
I too remember that performance. I was at the brink of tears when Vince broke down...but when they showed Mr. George Jones's widow and family lose it...the damn broke for me and I lost it emotionally!! I Was Gone!!!😭😭😭😭😭
I am Mexican and I have been a long time Ricky Scaggs fan....he's a master mandolin player. Allison Krauss has one of the purest voices anyone can hear. This is a beautiful song written by Vince Gill.
Vince Gill’s original version was released just after my dear friend committed suicide. “I know your life on earth was troubled, only you could know the pain.” It was as if that line was written for him.
LOVE LOVE LOVE this. I am in Australia and a great friend (who came from Texas) passed away TOO Young. It was played at his funeral. The first cord makes we cry like a baby. It takes me back to that day is a second. Sad day. But all the best memories of my mate come flooding back as well. Thank you Vince Gill for an amazing healing song.
Vince Gill doesn't get enough recognition for his talent as both a singer and an amazing guitarist. Played this song at my Dad and Brother's funerals...it will always have a special place in my heart. All 3 of these artists are amazingly talented with strong roots in bluegrass and gospel. This song will always bring a tear to my eye.
"Go to Heaven a-shoutin', Love for the Father and the Son" those words always make me cry. I saw recently that he performed it at a funeral with Patty Lovelass and he was so over come with grief he couldn't continue, and she carried him. I can't recall the country singer who passed but he had requested this song by Vince to be sung. Wonderful, powerful music. I see from other comments it was George Jones' funeral.
Think Vince Gill started with a group called Pure Prairie League (Correct me if it was another group of that era.). Has had many interesting collaborations and couple of years ago or so, sat in as a "member" of the Eagles when they did a limited number of tour dates.
@@barbarastewart603 You're right, Pure Prairie League. They were country flavored rock music. Look them up on U-tube. If you're old enough you'll recognize a couple of songs that became hits. Amy comes to mind.
@@Blue-rl5dp Thanks for info. I do remember the song, Amy, very well. Didn't connect it to a particular group...unfortunately the nature of a fair amount of my "music memory".
He is also one ofnthe baddest men behind a guitar. Dude can slam live. .....I will also say this is three of the best instrumentalists in country music
@@lilgonz21 As his solo career was starting, Mark Knopffler from Dire Straits tried to hire him to the band as another guitarist. IMAGINE Vince and Mark on the same song... too much guitar greatness for one band lol. (if you're not aware of that band, they did Sultans of Swing and Money for Nothing) you've probably heard them lol.
The lines "You weren't afraid to face the devil. You were no stranger to the rain" refer to the Keith Whitley song titled I'm No Stranger to the Rain. Vince Gill wrote this song as a memorial to his "brother" in spirit, Keith Whitley, after he passed away. If I may make a suggestion, you really should listen to that song by Keith Whitley.
@@MrBlawson7 Thank you. I remember when it came out, but I didn't know that it was his actual brother that inspired him to finish writing the song. The Keith Whitley references are the only ones that are obvious, so you can understand how I missed that fact. I learn something new everyday.
There are many that say, and I'm one of them, that the "tingly feeling in the crown of your head" is The Comforter (The Holy Spirit) letting you know that He is there with you. My brother took his own life when he was 46 - about 17 years ago - None of us saw it coming, and it devastated my life for awhile. But to this day, I have a very hard time making it to the end of this song. One of the most beautiful, & meaningful, Inspired songs ever written. And yes.... you can't beat the precision, spot on harmony of these three. It's almost like they are blood brothers & sisters - some of the Best harmony always seems to come from blood family members..... I'm a fairly new listener and subscriber to your channel, but out of about 30 or so channels that I follow, your channel quickly migrated to the top of my list. Thank you for what you do...... Danny
I played that for my brother right after he died, put the phone right beside his ear. It almost put me in the floor when I saw a teardrop slide out of his right eye.
S Hunt not just in the South. Huge request in the Midwest as well. Played it at my dad’s funeral as well as my stepfather’s and many others. Absolutely a beautiful song.
Vince Gill wrote it and the original video had backups of Ricky Skaggs and Patty Lovelace. All three of the above artists are some of the best country music and gospel music have to offer.
@@Modern-Renaissance-Man Thank you! God has givin me purpose and strength raising our son who is now 14. And I keep faith knowing we will be together in heaven.
It was my Dad's favorite song. Cancer took him very quick. My Dad had a full military funeral and this song was played at his funeral as his casket was being lowered down.
Thank you for this review. My oldest daughter passed away almost 4 years ago and I have been struggling lately. I haven’t heard this song in a long time, and this warmed my heart. 💗💗💗💗💗
When I saw that you were reacting to this song, I had to listen, This was played at my son's memorial on December 5, 2020. He was 50 yrs old, he died of a blood cancer. As a man of great faith, he now walks with Jesus.
Played this at my brother's funeral in February of this year . Felt like it was written for him. He couldn't find peace here on earth and we hope he's now found it in heaven ❤️ 😪😪
This song is my song to my father and brother the 29th of November will be 32 years for my Dad he was 42 in 1986 when he lost his 2 year battle with lung cancer and my brother lost his battle with bladder cancer 4 years ago at 47 !! RIP high on that mountain John Leroy Thorington Sr. & Jeffrey Allen Thorington I miss you guys so much so until I see you again take care of my baby girl Daddy misses you everyday Caitlyn !! God Bless and sorry for going on but this song is very special to me !!!
Watching younger people take the time to listen and expand their love for music is Precious ..... you made my 💜 smile sweetheart! May God Bless and keep you safe always! 👏👏🎶🎶🙏 Amen
If you watch and react to 'The Official Music Video' of this, the harmany's are out of this world, a violin played in the middle too, the beauty of it makes you wince, you'll get tingles galore. It really is beautiful.....
I cannot listen to this song without squawling my eyes out because it was the first song they played at my father's funeral. It caught me offguard when the curtains from our family side opened and this song started playing and there lay my father. I totally lost it. I still miss him today. I love you daddy, always did, always will. Till we meet again one day...love your only daughter, Linda.
You never heard of Vince Gill? He's a legend! This song is a killer in so many ways, but he also has other hits too. He's a master guitar picker, so not only is he a great singer, but one of the greats of guitar playing. Hope your finger slides towards one of my requests soon. I look forward to hearing what you think of Gary Allen and Diamond Rio! (If you like monster harmony, Diamond Rio is gonna impress you a lot!)
Silverblade Dagger Yes!! Diamond Rio is such a great band and freakin’ hit machine! My favorites from them are In a Week or Two, I Believe, One More Day, Walkin’ Away, and of course Meet in the Middle!!
Silverblade Dagger ~ Look up Pure Prairie League...the sing Aimee! Lead singer, blew my mind! Here it is: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Wrmrjx66_T8.html
Everyone in the music buzz always want Vince Gill to harmonize in their records! Look up Vince Gill in all the songs he's in. Beautiful and one of my fav voices! You'll be rubbing your head! 😄
💥💥💥💥 Vince Gill released this song in 1995. He started writing it yrs b4 when his friend Keith Whitley died in 1989...it wasn't til 1993 that he finished writing it after the death of his brother Bob. The Amt of times it has been sung at funerals is almost uncountable....he cud not of conveyed his feeling any better 4 his loved ones, than he did w/this song. EVERYONE can relate There r NO words that will suffice .... RESPECT and then some. Yr vids btw r awesome. U have one of the sweetest, sexiest smiles out there dude. Another great song he sang is "HOUSE OF LOVE" that he did w/his now wife Amy Grant. The 1st time I saw and heard this song I wud have sworn that they were married, or at least a couple This song was written by Amy not Vince Vince Gill is VERY respected in the music industry...a true gentleman and scholar... He writes such great songs and is a wonderful storyteller....when u have the time listen 2 "house of cards". Your ears will b blessed. Stay well Stay safe Be at peace Fr across the waters Canada 🇨🇦 🐥🐥🐥hugs and all that jazz
Vince Gill is married to Amy Grant who was a Christian singer back in the 80's. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND you look up Amy Grant "sing your praise to the Lord" !! It's an awesome song!!! I think you would love it! It has a long piano bit in the beginning that builds up to this beautiful song!! 😍😍
❤️❤️ I get those chills every time I hear him sing this song. He has such a beautiful voice.. when you add the other two beautiful voices to his just raises to another level.
8 yrs ago my 46 yr old cousin passed away. Heart problems out of the blue. She was healthy and worked as an EMT. They played this song at her funeral. I've not had the courage till today to listen to this song. I'm scared to watch it but I need to. God Bless.
My daughter was in a wheel chair from birth,i lost her 10 years ago to phemonia, she loved music, and Vince gill She was at one of his concerts and he came and picked her up and carried her up on stage and sung I STILL BELIEVE IN YOU, while holding my little girl in his arms Thanks Ty for recognizing MR VINCE GILL✌🙏
I really like your videos.. and your comments on the songs. Vince and Pattie Lovelace sang this at George Jones funeral. Vince was very close to George, very touching version also.. it's on RU-vid also. So much good talent in one place... If you've never been to Nashville TN, I highly recommend it. Beautiful city and amazing music everywhere.. from country to jazz and rock.
Beautiful!!! May god bless all of those suffering with loss and all the weary and troubled with peace in their soul. Much love! Thank you for sharing. 💜🙏⚘
Vince Gill was once was asked in an interview if he was pleased with the success of this song and he replied that he would have been happier not to have written it. 😊
Good morning brother blessed Sunday to you! I just discovered you about an hour ago and I had to hook you up to my Roku so that I could watch your face and your reactions. This performance is a gift from God. As I mentioned earlier, R&B, soul and gospel has always been my first love but every now and then you encounter a song that makes you stop dead in your tracks. Such as the case for this song. I absolutely insist once again that you listen to the recorded version of this song so as to appreciate the nuances in it because it is so crisp and clear and angelic. He couldn't have chosen a more perfect person to sing this live performance with him as far as Alison Krauss is concerned. She is a gifted harmonizer. I would like to share with you my personal story of this song. I lost my only brother DJ on January 4th of 2004. My brother and I were Die Hard music lovers and we spent many an hour singing together. Much the same as Vince Gill's brother, my brother's life was equally as troubled as a direct result of the lives we grew up having. At the time of my brother's passing, he was incarcerated for a $10.52 check of which he spent 17 years of his life. My brother was a beautiful person and he was very very talented and brilliant but my brother was an IV drug user. My brother as a result of his drug use had contracted HIV AIDS as a direct result of having shared a needle with a fellow user. My brother survived 10 years HIV positive and he probably wouldn't have lived that long had he not been incarcerated and had regular Medical Care. In the wee hours of January 4th 2004 my brother suffered and esophageal hemorrhage while incarcerated. Sadly, my brother's life was not valuable to the authorities of that prison and instead of flying him to a hospital that could have otherwise treated him they languished while my brother bled to death. Oh, they did eventually take him to the hospital where he only lived a short time but my mother and his 12 year old daughter were present for his actual death. This was my mother's only son and I'm sure you can imagine her broken heart. I made it within 11 miles of the hospital only to receive word that my brother had passed. As I reflect upon this, I am thankful that the Lord did not allow me to witness his actual passing because just the thought of it breaks my heart. When I think of my brother, I choose to think of him singing a song like this but instead when I sing it, I sing it towards the Heavens, where I know he finally rests in peace. I don't know if you ever really get the opportunity to read all the messages that are left behind for you but in the event that you do I hope that my truth touches your soul and that you say a prayer for my brother DJ. I thank you for the privilege of your time.
This song played at my family funeral on my dad side my dad , my 2 brothers , my sisters, my nephew, my nieces funerals this song mind me what they went through
I lost my big brother two year ago now, and I'm almost 40 and I'm still not strong enough to get trough a day without thinking about him and missing him. This song helps me every day. I just pray it's true, and I'll see him again and be able to talk to him once more. We have so much to catch up on. I didn't know, as most don't, that brothers have a bond that is indescribable, as I'm sure sisters do too. That's what I miss the most, and wish more than anything to get back. I always took him for granted and thought the he would always be there for me, as he always had been. Until the day I got the call that he was gone. This song really is one of the few that helps ease the pain, if only for a short time. Thank you Mr. Gill.
OMGGG I NEVER SEEN ANYONE REACT TO VINCE GILL ♡ I love this. I wish you could of done this video version or studio.. the music is beautiful. I love this song regardless but the video has the better version honestly, the vocals are GREAT both ways. 💕
Vince sang this at George Jones' funeral, and I believe this same lady sang with him, but he cried so much that he couldn't make it through the whole song by himself........it would make you cry........My Mom got to meet him back stage at one of his concerts.......and took a picture with him.......he's her all time favorite.....she's got that picture where she can see it every day~~~~~~
Those harmonies are so tight.. Vince is the guitar slayer, he's awesome. Check out Diamond Rio, " bubba hyde" or " one more day".. one is fun, one is more serious ❤
my aunt requested this song for her funeral after a 4 year battle with 2 different strands of leukemia. She fought hard but she is at peace high on a mountain. still cry when i hear it. 20 years later.
RU-vid put you on my suggestions...and I'm glad...so glad it did. I was feeling very down lately, and just watching your videos, with your sweet commentary and then the song choices...dear Lord, the first 3 songs i came across, Dolly, Randy & Vince Gill...just...thank you so much...i needed this. I'll be binge watching your video reactions for the night. 💗 -Jay
Welcome. be sure to check out my other videos with me responding to subscribers. And if you want to laugh check out my video called "evil labradoodle" I did this with my dog but I think you'll get a kick out it.
This is one of Lauren's (Daigle) new ones that is just phenomenal...it's called "Look Up Child" ... BUT...all of her songs on this new album are amazing...this is just one, and not even the one that is my favorite, but one the Lord laid upon my heart to share (and he always knows why, i just obey, I'm just his tool to use), so here it is...let me know what you think 😉 ... ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-56uSOVEV0mY.html
I'm 55 yrs old and I'm not afraid to admit that this song brings tears to my eyes every time I hear it....reminds me of the day my dad died and them mom years later.....glad to see your so diversified about the songs you choose...random or not....keep up the good work and thx.....Ray
Vince’s brother was disabled, and evidently was in a lot of pain. I’ve seen him get emotional several times when singing this song... he is an OKC boy!
My daddy was a Mountain man from the Smoky Mountains in TN. He passed in 2002 in his sleep from CHF. I had never heard this then but my bil sang it at my dads service. It never fails to touch me.
My brother passed away 3 months ago. My brother didn't believe in God, It was especially shocking to my mom for all of us .. one Sunday he asked his wife too go to church. a message came to him that day.4 months later he had a bad accident, he passed away from head trauma. I still cry everyday I miss him. What brings us peace he had became a man of god. Wynonna Judd sings Imagine you can feel it. Her vibe is so strong. She's a awesome country girl. John miles Allen the 3rd Rest in paradise .
I lost my boyfriend in 97 & about 5 or 6 days after I had tickets for Vince Gill and when he sang this I was sitting in the audience trying not to bawl. After 21 years it still makes me tear up.
He performed this with Patty Lovelace at the Grand Ol Opry for the death of a friend and he broke down, However, Patty Lovelace pulled through and really helped him out. It brings tears to my eyes every time I watch that version.
I have an uncle in Tennessee who passed away a few years ago. This song was played at his funeral. I can't hear it without thinking of him but that's a good thing. 'Miss you, Uncle Gene!
Vince started writing this song after his friend Keith Whitley passed from alcohol poisoning. The line "no stranger to the rain" is the title for Keith's song. Soon after, his brother passed. Keith was from my tiny hometown of Sandy Hook, Kentucky. Ricky Skaggs is from the next county over. He and Keith played together when they were first starting out.
It's just amazing you've never heard of Vince Gill. In his prime he was one of the most amazing tenors I have ever heard sing. You should check out some of his earlier songs. He did a lot of slow, romantic stuff - "Look At Us", "Whenever You Come Around", "Never Knew Lonely", "When I Call Your Name"
This was played at my sons memorial service in Decemder 2000. He died of s blood cancer. Loved the Lord, so I will see him one day. Home Free does a beautiful version also.
Vince Gill and Patty Loveless sang this at George Jones funeral... he could barley make it through the song...beautiful ceremony. You can find it on RU-vid.
Patty Loveless did her part that day by trying to carry Vince over the rough spots of the song. Together, they both did a fantastic job, that would've made The Possum proud. R.I.P. George Jones. Vince started writing this song at the time of Keith Whitley's death but, couldn't complete it then. Two years later, when Vince's older brother died, Vince finished, "Go Rest High On That Mountain." Anything by Vince Gill is excellent. Try listening to, "Look At Us."
Greetings Ty, I happened across your vlog inadvertently today as I was searching for Elvis Presley songs to share for his 84 Birthday...I love your vibe, you are a true musician that hears music through your soul! I have watched so many of your vlogs today and have now subscribed to your vlogs.I am an old gal ( well not ancient just vintage..lol) from Toronto, Ontario Canada, if you ever find yourself in our fair City...Dinner is on us! Keep up the good reviews!
Was this sung during the George Jones tribute/memorial? BTW: Do a reaction to George Jones - He Stopped Loving Her Today. Arguably the best country song.
