I disliked it because the video sucks. The song is incredible but the video is the most boring thing I can imagine. Why is there not an old man anywhere in this video? Go look up the music video for the song, "That's How I Wanna Go Out". That's the kind of video I was expecting not driving, standing, driving, walking, standing, driving, walking, standing, etc. Why even make this? It takes away from the song instead of adding to it. I just showed it to my girlfriend to introduce her to Rileys music and she just kept asking me if they were going to show his grandpa. That's why people are disliking it.

This dude clearly likes making me cry...between this and "grandpa's never died..."

There is nothing better than a song with meaning, a song from the heart. That is more precious than any other thing and I love how I find that in country music in general, but especially in this song.

This hits me right in the heart. My grandpa had dementia and he began forgetting everything. But even as he got closer to passing away, he would still recognize Johnny Cash's voice when we'd play music for him. What I would give to see that man, healthy and alive. Grandpas are irreplaceable. I wish I could've been with him longer, when he was healthy. See you up there, Pop. I miss ya
