A back story to this...after this performance he walked off stage and Ricky Skaggs said it was a great performance and Craig told him he was glad he liked it because he would never be able to sing that song live again. Ricky told him he had to sing it...that people needed to hear it...and he took that to heart and has performed it live ever since.

I can't believe I have never heard this song until today. I lost my 19 year old son to fentanyl 18 months ago. Then I lost my mind and nearly everything else since. No one seemed to understand why I seemed to be self-destructing. Now, thanks to Craig Morgan, I know that the loss of a child can not be understood by any that hasn't gone through it. God bless Mr Morgan for the courage to put this out. I finally have hope to move forward.

Craig’s son, Jerry age 19, died in a tubing accident. The chorus came to Craig in his sleep. He credits the Holy Ghost.

Britt. A little about Craig. He served in the US Army for 17 years. I believe the last 7 or 8 as a combat medic. When he got out he did a number of different jobs to support his family, and finally got to a place where he felt his music could be what he did full time. He has done very well for himself in that regard. As to the kind of guy he is, one day he was driving home and happened upon a house fire. The Fire Dept. hadn't gotten there yet and he stopped to see if he could help. He was told there were people inside still, and he went in and carried out 2 (My memory is that they were kids, but not certain). Then when the FD arrived he pulled a hoseline and helped put out the fire. He and his family own a lake house. Kind of a getaway place. Well his son, who was 19 at the time, had gone to the lake with a couple friends for a weekend. The day they were due to drive back to town they decided to spend a little time tubing before they left. Something happened during the tubing and his son drowned. He wrote the song because that is how songwriters deal with their feelings. After his performance on the Opry, he swore he could never do it again. With encouragement from Ricky Skaggs and Craig's buddy Blake Shelton he continued to perform it. You really should watch the video even if you don't react to it. For more of Craig's music you should try "That's what I love about Sunday" and also "This ain't nothing". Do yourself a favor Britt. Watch the videos. Peace right back at you.

His son hit his head on apart of his friends head or a specific part of his body that knocked his son unconscious and drowned but he hit his head on something... Craig speaks on it on the show with celebrities in the woods I'm sure u can find it by looking up Craig Morgan reality tv show in woods idk just a guess but it's a great show it plays the song and that's how I found out about everything

Craig is am amazing songwriter, vocalist. He’s a War Veteran, a Christian…a Great Guy! Let Craig take you to Church: What I Love About Sunday

My husband died when he was 46. I was 41 and our sons 18 and 9. Nine years later my oldest son died, so our family was half of what it used to be. You absentmindedly set the table for all sometimes, or buy their favorite snacks while grocery shopping. Even after all this time one gets transported back to relive the loss. Not every day, but during a song like this, or randomly. My son wrote beautiful lyrics when he was about 35 or so, about his experience as a 9 and 18 yr old… being told.

You should watch him perform this live on the Kelly Clarkston show...He actually kinda breaks down at the end.....so powerful and heart wrenching

Almost Home, another beautiful song and story

Thanks so much for this reaction. I grew up with him & his family such an awesome family. He lost his son to a lake accident and it's so hard for him to perform this song. 😢 again thanks girl!!! ❤️❤️#creeksquad

I’ve watched a lot of people that review all types of songs. You fine lady really get & understand peoples voices into happiness and joy or story telling and you always give great words to describe and you felt this. I’m maybe not a fan of country but this got me. Thank you for putting this on cause I would have never heard or watched. As a parent my kids will always be my kids and thank the lord I still have them and love.

Just an unbelievable performance. Amazing and heartfelt song. Excellent tribute to his son… such a sad song but it carries on that legacy. Craig Morgan is awesome! Also recommend “How You Make a Man” by him.

Wow, that was like being punched in the gut listening to him sing that song. How he gets that out and doesn't break down crying is beyond me. That was beautiful.

This tears me up every time I hear this. It is true. He lost his son. 😢🙏

I lost my brother in 1990. He was 20 at that time. I saw the pain my parents went through. My pops would suffer dementia later on in life, but up until the end, when he saw one of us kids, "Are you ok?". My dad was always close to us, but I think after Jeff was killed, this protection went even deeper. Even as dementia was claiming his mind, the one thing it held on to was his kids being ok. In the song, it shows the mom even more distraught, same happened to my mom who is 90, tough old farm girl still drives, tends her flower beds. Talks to us kids daily. She had a support group at church and us to help her through it, but, until this day 32 years later he has a hard time looking at Jeff's picture. Dad was the king of the castle, but mom rules it . This song brings me back to the day my brother was killed in that car accident on Sept 02, 1990. Beautiful song.

Craig has written so many heartfelt songs and they have depth. Let him take you to church with a more upbeat song, What I Love About Sunday. If you want to cry again, watch the Grand Ole Opry performance with Craig Morgan and Jelly Roll singing Craig's song Almost Home as a duet.

I sobbed when I heard this, and still do every time I hear it. Yet I still listen because I feel if he can put the emotion into this true story, I can help carry the burden with him, even though he has no clue I do.

Thank you for reacting to his beautiful song about his deep loss. I recommend you watch the video, probably privately, for your own appreciation of this emotional work of Art. May those suffering from loss find comfort, solace and healing 🙏

Powerful. In tears. First time hearing this song. Thanks for the very authentic and heartfelt reaction!! May God richly bless you Britt.

Life is so lifey, God is so incomprehensibly good, kind, and Loving.

Craig Morgan has many good songs, he doesn't get the recognition he deserves

My heart breaks OVER N OVER again everytime I listen to this song. RIP my mom❤

Craigs performance of this song on Kelly Clarksons show, hits you deep in the chest. As a father who lost a daughter, I could feel his pain deeper, than I had since her passing.

Beautifully-expressed reaction Britt. In fact, the most powerfully honest reaction I've seen. Music has such power to evoke any and all human emotion, and never any more so than when the artist is telling their own story., and it's a sad one. I'm very impressed that, without knowing in advance that this man was doing just that, you were able to feel the rawness and confidently assert that we're listening to a true first person story. Btw, tears are a beautiful reaction when they're caused by heartfelt emotion. Love your work. x

This song kills me every time I hear it. I have lost both parents, the love of my life, & 6 of my nine siblings. The only way I can cope with these losses is that I know I will see them again. I have also lost 5 Fur Babies, I don't have any 2-legged children, so they were my Babies.

It's the same with this performance, you can see and hear his pain. Even his crew was watching him, knowing what this song is about.

I've seen the official video but the most poignant version to me is his performance on the Kelly Clarkson Show. Blake Shelton and Ricky Skaggs played a huge role in helping Craig to take this song to the top. I truly believe this song helps people heal. ❤

It’s a true story. Son killed in a boating accident. He’s so humbled while singing this song.

True raw emotions. Much respect and it’s not a weakness. Thank you.

Im bawling my eyes out, ugly crying watching your reaction. Just watched your other reaction where you shared about your sister passing. I lost my younger brother when he was 20 and I was 22 in a motorcycle accident. Worst thing that ever happened in my life and even though I'm 33 now it feels like it wasn't that long ago. This song makes me think of my brother and every time I listen to it I grieve along with Craig. This is probably the most powerful, emotional, real, grieving a loved one songs out there. Other songs that remind me of my brother are "Say Something" A Great Big World & Christina Aguilera, "I Drive Your Truck" Lee Brice, "Who You'd Be Today" Kenny Chesney, and "See You There" Joey Feek of Joey + Rory, very sad story behind that song. Joey is singing the song about the loss of her brother (same name as my brother, Justin) in a car accident in 1994 but then later she too passed away in 2016 from a battle with cervical cancer.

I just came across your channel and I’m so glad I did. Your reaction was real and you are absolutely beautiful. This song is definitely difficult to get through without being moved to tears. It’s a reminder to not take anything for granted and treasure those we love while we have them in our lives. I’ll definitely be watching more of your reactions. ❤❤

Whew Britt..this one hits so deep. My son and I lost his mom when he was 3. I grieved, he grieved, my family grieved, but nobody grieved as hard and as long as her mother. The fact that Craig can grt through this song in this performance just shows his son was right there with him holding him up. Also Im sorry to hear about your sibling. I hope your family found peace eventually.

Thank you for your words. This is the actual1st performance of this song and it was supposed to be the last. He didn't feel strong enough to keep doing it. His friends in country music plead with him to record it for those who've had a loss. Thank God he did.

How i found him was with his song Almost Home , the picture the old man in the story paints reminds me of growing up on my Grandparents farm it is so good brings a smile and a tear when u hear it . He even invited Jelly Roll to sing it with him on the Grand Ole Opery stag. !

I tear up every time I hear this song. I came close to losing my son when he was 2 and 18 years later I still have nightmares. I can't imagine how people deal with the loss of a child. Craig is amazing. "That's what I love about Sunday" and "This ain't nothing are 2 you need to hear...btw love the honesty that comes thru in your reactions

What I Love About Sunday is another Great Song by Craig Morgan

You are so right. You can feel his grief and agonizing pain over the loss of his son. He's only sang it publicly a few times because it takes everything in him to sing it and get through it without puking or passing out. He talks about it in an interview. His heart was racing like crazy just talking about it in the interview. I know his pain because our 14 year old granddaughter died two years ago. I still can't take about her without my heart racing and my throat closing up because of the knot in it. Blessings!

I have to take a deep breath every time I listen to this song. It makes me think of how my mom must have felt when I was in the hospital for almost a year where some days I could have died.

I relate to this song not because of losing a child, but because my wife passed away almost 3 years ago. Like the song says, I'm still broken and grieve every day. There's no complete healing except in Heaven, where we will meet again.

You did an amazing job with that reaction. You are so good at doing this, you really pay attention to the songs, the words... and your thoughts are wonderful on them.

Miss Britt, I love you as a person and I really don't know how I missed this reaction, it brought back wonderful memories of my Dad who went to his forever home in 2012 !! You know sometimes it's ok to "ugly cry" because I have done it many times ! My dad was a marine in the Korean war and I can honestly say that I've never seen him shed a tear about anything!! Well, Mrs.Britt I reckon I've rambled on long enough, thanks for the beautiful trip down memory lane, keep doin what you do best...smiling and reactions !!!!

And another Craig Morgan tune that you would love, & it's a HAPPY one, is "That's What I Like About Sundays". (Official version) It will put a smile on your face 😀

This is a new rabbit hole for you! Check out "That's What I Love About Sundays" or "This Ain't Nothing".

Awesome job young lady, Craig Morgan and Jelly Roll- Almost Home ( live at the Grand Ole Opry ) is very very good

Yes i feel his pain and loss along with yours ! Wonderful song and a touching reaction ! May the warmth of my hug and gods blessings be with you all today and all that follows !

What an amazing song and emotional display from both the artist and the reactor. I really enjoyed this one! 🥰

I listen to country music every once in a while, and ALWAYS find something that moves me to laughter or tears or just makes me reminisce about an event in my life. I have not heard this song before this, and I thank you for bringing it to me. This was incredibly moving. Bless you.♥️

Bless you and your family. Thank you for sharing - your sister lives through you. We feel the love.

As a father that lost a son in 2001 when he was 16 1/2 to an auto accident I can certainty relate to the song and Craig's loss. After 22 years I still grieve and wear the pain like a heavy coat... we should never out live our children. On my bad days I listen to this song (and others) and know, unfortunately, that he and I share something in common. But I know without a shadow of a doubt that I will see my son again one day... because of our faith and trust in Christ. I think your reaction to this song was absolutely beautiful and very touching... thank you!

What a beautiful, real and touching reaction you did.. Beautiful to see people with feelings.. I loved it

OMG - I'm crying along with you. That was beautiful and intensely sad but so moving. Thanks for reacting

Truly, the loss of a child leaves a empty hole in ones life that can never be filled until one is parted from this cruel world and reunited on the other side of the veil. Btw: I'm Teri using my husbands account. Thank you for covering this song God bless you and your family, friends and followers. Stay safe folks.

Sounds like a passionate father. I hadn't heard of him before, so this time you introduced me to someone. Peace, Love!!

I need to thank you and I pray you get this message This song is my story I've lost a daughter and son. God had to pick me up and he carries me everyday. He saved me and he blesses me everyday. God bless you. I feel your spirits. You felt the spirit at his first verse

You are an amazing reactor. Thank You for being true and showing your raw emotion when reacting to songs.

I've heard this some dozens of times but I still get chills when bee belts out THE HOLY GHOST part... Every Time

Being a father of a grown son, this is the hardest song I have ever listened to. I can't imagine his grief, and I don't want to ever understand it.

Absolutely love Craig Morgan....

I cried the first time I watched him sing this and just now broke down again 😢it hits your heart hard!😭

I’ve seen so so many reactions to this song and many others you have covered. This is by far my favorite reaction channel on YT!!

Great reaction! I cried so hard again! I lost my parents young and I do believe! I know I will be with them again! This song is so beautifully tragic and a fathers love but spirituality and figuratively!!

So touching totally from the depth of his soul. Any loss is hard but you are not suppose to have to bury your child. Many prayers for those that have to do that.

This was so heart felt. Thank you for sharing this video.

ME TOOOOO! 😭 Check out Craig Morgan singing 'That's What I Love About Sunday' & 'Wake Up Lovin' You'. He's such a gifted artist, with an incredible soul.

I lost a newborn son when he was 6 hours old. That was 16 years ago but the pain is still raw. It’s a pain that you never get over it.

One of the nicest down to earth real people I've ever met. He is one of my fav singers of all time. Puts all his heart and soul into every song every time.

Beautiful reaction. I truly admire an artist that can use their art, to not only work through their own grief, but help others, too. Toby Mac went through something similar and wrote 21 Years, it's a is very moving song.

Loving your reactions, commentary, tears and smiles you are proving us... thank you

What I love about Sunday shows another side of him

Prayers and blessings to your Mom, you, and your family for what y'all went through.

I love love love these emotional reactions. Just the realness is so overwhelming. James blunt "monsters" is another good one you need to hear.
