I miss my dad

My favorite male singer that is still currently living.

Long story short, grandpa was more badass than this generation could ever dream of. Love this song!

I cry everytime I hear this song.

"You cant see what those shades of grey keep covered".....that is poetic and true

Why he isn’t considered top 10 greatest country singers is confounding. “ that lonesome song” will blow your mind!!

I am a 5th Generation Veteran. The stories I could tell about not just life, but my dad, grandfather and great grandfather. I was lucky to know all of them

This sounds a lot like my Grandpa. Worked on a farm as kid, served in WW2. Lived a full life, passed away at 93. The stories he told and the many we never heard.

Amber, that's exactly the reaction everyone should have when hearing this song. I've heard it several times, and it still brings tears to my eyes.

Every time I hear this song I think about what I wouldn't give to go back and sit with my grampa and listen too his stories about watching the country grow up around him and his adventures.

If you're gonna do Jamey Johnson, you have to do his song Lead Me Home. And as parents, you'll also like his song The Dollar.

He's got a song called " The Cost of Living" that he wrote about how he was living his life and actual things he went through before he straightened his life out. It's a great song.

There's something really beautiful about old black and white photos. It's like they hold a mystery that you try to fill in with your imagination. With all of this technology we have now our grand kids will be able to go back and watch videos of us when we were young, and they'll be able to see our personalities, and see what we were like. But we don't get that with our grandparents. When we're looking at old pictures we just have to use our imaginations to try and fill in that mystery, it's really wholesome and beautiful.

You can't go wrong with anything Jamie Johnson! "Lead Me Home" is an absolute must!!

Jamey Johnson wrote "Give It Away" that was one of George Strait's many hits....and was the song of the year back then. Incredibly talented singer/songwriter.

20 year old gen Z here. Raised by my great grandparents half my life, got to meet my great great grandparents who lived through the great depression and WW2. Learned a lot, how to be frugal, how to redneck engineer stuff to make it work, and how important the past actually is. My great grandparents are still alive thank the lord, but I am to inherit most of my great grandfathers heirlooms. These are the things I will cherish forever, and each one holds a memory to when I was growing up. As I sit at my desk that was once my great great grandmothers listening to this song typing this out, it brings a tear to my eye every time.

The part where he talks about their wedding day and describes the rose being red and her eyes being blue, wow!

Love how Amber wears her heart on her sleeve such a kind lady.

There’s no better song that says, “You should have been there to see it in person.” Absolutely perfect song.

Beautiful song!!! 66 yrs old & still brings a tear to my eyes! Don't feel bad Amber! ❤

18 yrs ago, I video taped my father telling many stories.. he just died this past yr at 85. I must now find them in my videos to pass on to his 9 living children and countless grandchildren and great grands. PLEASE, EVERYONE SHOULD DO THIS.. TO HAVE A LIVING MEMORY OF OUR LOVED ONES LIVES.

This emotional number about an elderly man looking back at his life was written by Johnson as a tribute to his grandfather. The country singer-songwriter explained to Roughstock: "He died in 2000; I've got memories of him. He didn't know I was a songwriter or a singer. He just knew I could sing and write and that I was moving Nashville to get it done. He died probably the first eight months that I was in town. I've always wanted to pay tribute back to thank him for the lessons growing up, all the conversations with him. Nobody ever pays attention to that stuff until they're gone I'm afraid. I had a long way to go, I wanted him to be around a lot longer, I wasn't ready for him to go. So it's kind of appropriate way to introduce this album to the public." This was named Song of the Year at the 2009 Academy of Country Music Awards. In his acceptance speech, Johnson said: "I thank these two guys up here - Lee Miller and James Otto - for helping me write this song. Thanks to my band, too, for going in on an off day and producing an off record." Later in the year, the song won the 2009 CMA Song of the Year Award. Lee Miller told the story behind the song's inspiration for the book Nashville Songwriter: The Inside Stories Behind Country Music's Greatest Hits: by Jake Brown. "You look for the phrase that gives you a reason to write a song," he said. "And I was telling Jamey a story about some event that I'd been to, and it was a story … about Nashville back in the '60s and some pictures in black and white … I'm talking, and he's kind of zoned out … and he said, 'There's your idea. You think that's somethin', you should've seen it in color.'" He added "Those ideas are hard to come by … At that point, just don't mess it up; just write it correctly." Miller and Johnson, along with James Otto began talking about their own grandparents, and the song stemmed from memories of their grandfathers. "In a lot of ways, it's a song about our grandfathers," Miller said. The second verse ("In the middle of hell in 1943...) is about the experiences of Lee Miller's grandfather during World War II.

That was a lot to read, but it was worth it to me, at least. 😂 I didn't know any of that about this song, so thank you.

Glad y’all got to Jamey. He’s a great talent with a lot of good music.

Being a lifelong photographer this song says alot to me because pictures tell a story.... but the story of this song is so heartfelt and true. I look at old black and white pictures of my family ...my mama and daddy....i try to imagine those pictures in color. My daddy was in the army in 1945 when they met and they were so young.

Jamey Johnson, kicking the door in! You couldn't have started with a better song.

If only you had been there, seen what I had seen and felt what I felt, such a beautiful messenge you can only get so much from an image

What a song!

This song.. makes me miss my dad. Sitting on his lap looking at the old pictures and asking him so many questions. Those people in those pictures all had hopes, fears, loves, they all were human like you and me. Never forget that. A picture is a look into a single moment in a persons life. I don't like pictures of me, simply because I was there, and I remember it. You can look at my pictures but there are some that I refuse to talk about. Those memories are mine and mine alone. I may have some photo's on black and white film but guys, that life was being lived in full technicolor. I close my eyes and that black car is really a beautiful purple that I could never describe. Talk to an older person today, they have wisdom that you don't realize you need.

Old pictures can describe the best times and moments of that person's life, and old pictures of my family I look at them as appreciation of the here and now.

The song, by him is, "Lead Me Home", it is Incredible. Jamey is the most underrated singer out here.

Absolutely! Could tell Amber was thinking of her daddy

The only other really big hit he had that earned him an award was "Give It Away". He's made 4 albums in his life and had several very successful songs that he released, but he has written many hit songs for other artists. He's really more of a song writer. He's been in the music industry for 20 years now.

I believe that when Grandpa says: “But you can't see what those shades of gray keep covered You should've seen it in color”, he is talking about seeing it through their eyes. Meaning they the picture only tells part of the story. It’s like when you see a picture of you and your bestie. You were there, you know what happened. Someone else will just see a picture of the two of you, with little or no context. (in color)

If you folks will forgive me for bragging on you so, it is so beautiful to see how empathetically engaged you both become with the music, the singing and the video here. Many thanks and Many Blessings to you for this KZread channel and all of the time and energy you put into it.

I've heard this song 100 times and I was crying right along with you Amber. I'm 55, just had a stroke 2 weeks ago and it has been such a huge REALITY check. And I've been listening to songs from my childhood, but I love watching you both, and I've said this before, my favorite reaction video you've done will always be ROCK LOBSTER. Watching Amber eventually getting into and the look on his face like what is going on. I love it. Thanks for doing what you do and I'm thankful I found your channel. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving.

Amen Amber, when we are young we are very much into ourselves. I remember many stories my dad would tell and as a youth I would think not again. Now in my 70’s I have more questions I wish I could ask and get answers to. I have black and white pictures of our family and love looking at them. Time is fleeting and to the younger folks out there listen and ask questions because that will be a treasure when you are older.

This song ALWAYS makes me think of my beloved Granny and how hard her life was in the aftermath of her 1st marriage, when she was struggling to raise 3 kids on a farm in Kentucky. She & my father were 2 of the best people I've ever known. 💕💔

I played this song at my Dads funeral. It's the story of my Dads life. I love this song.

As I recall. you like George Strait. Well, Jamey co-wrote a song entitled "Give It Away" (inspired by Jamey's divorce - remember, this is country music ; ) and George Strait recorded it and it was his 41st #1 hit (and Single of the Year and Song of the Year), which set a new record for #1 country hits, surpassing Conway Twitty's 40. Another song of Jamey's I like personally is "Between Jennings and Jones".

My dad spent most my childhood in the Navy, my mom was a Marine, after that they both spent many years off traveling for construction jobs. So I spent most of my time with my grandparents who were children of the great depression and WW2. So this song resonates with me so hard. Looking at those old pictures and hearing stories of how my grandparents grew up through all of that hardship. Looking at all of the black and white pictures of them in their teens and twenties as they worked themselves to the bone starting a new family...you'd have no idea how hard it really was for them through all the smiles they had on their faces as they were working sugar cane or cotton fields or caring for all of their siblings who tended not to make it.

Jamey is my favorite country artist! I’ve seen him in concert 6 times, met him after a show, and own every album he’s ever released (even before he got famous) His voice breaks my heart, in a good way! My next suggestion is “Back to Caroline” or “My way to you” ❤ AND “Give it away” by George Straight, which Jamey wrote, and won awards for…

Yeah the 1st time I heard this song I was walking out the door. The TV was on and that voice stopped me in my tracks. I ended up setting on the arm of the couch as close as I could get to the TV. I still get emotional with this song.

I’ve got a pic of my grandparents (dad’s parents). I think it was taken at mom and dad’s wedding in the 50’s. Papa has an ear to ear grin holding a cigar with his arm around mama. She’s smiling in the way I’ll always remember her. First time I heard this song, he had me hooked from the first line. As soon as he got to the wedding picture, it became personal because I saw my grandparent’s pic in my head. That’s always been my favorite pic of them and this is a reminder why. Thank y’all for what you’re doing.

My Dad was born in 1922, he lived through the Depression and joined the Army AirForce in 1939. He survived WWII and married my Mom in 1945. My Dad and Mom were members of the greatest generation this country ever produced. Kids today have no idea what doing without or sacrifice even means. They think it is going without their morning latte. I've reached a point in life now that I'm the one who's life is now in black and white, Color photography didn't become a thing until the late 1960's early 70's. Sadly, we are soon to be gone and forgotten and with us, it seems the lessons we learned and tried to pass along. But, such is life I suppose, If you don't learn from history or those who went before you, you are doomed to repeat the same mistakes.

just because our sacrifices don’t look the same doesn’t mean we didn’t sacrifice. millennials haven’t gone 10 full years without a new economic recession since they were born. ‘85, .com bubble, housing crisis, covid, and what we have now. we’ve been through 9/11 and that singular event shaped what our lives would become. we’ve had a school shooting more than once a week on average since the late 2000s. we have the lowest buying power of any generation in this country’s history - despite being the most overqualified and the economy being bigger than ever. 2/3 of us will never become homeowners if the trend continues. something like 20% of us will deal with opiate addiction (that’s one out of every five. if you have 3 kids and your sibling has 2, one of those kids will be a lifelong addict) we & gen z spent our formative years in lockdown. we watched our parents’ home get foreclosed upon. something like 1/10-1/15 of us will experience some level of homelessness. real wages have stagnated since the 60s. our suicide rate is the highest of any generation in history. and to top it all off we get blamed for the mess our parents & grandparents left us in. the average millennial has only been in the workforce 10 years, yet we’ve been blamed for everything since the late 2000s. and to top it off, we now have to deal with the aftermath of the older generations’ daily interactions with lead paint, which is causing severe, rapid, and early mental decline in our loved ones and have to shoulder the burden of caring for adults at a younger age than any previous generation.

I saw Jamey Johnson perform this song, and it makes me almost cry. I love it.

Jamey has a lot of great songs and is well worth a deep dive into his tunes for sure.

Girl, I cried right along with you. This song does it to me every single time. My mom died a month shy of 54, I was 23 years old at the time (I'm 53 now). I have a million questions I never thought to ask while she was alive, I was too young to know I needed to ask questions that only she could answer. My dad died two years later so I was an orphan at 25. My parents were immigrants, I have no aunt's, uncle's, grandparents, cousins... no one, so the history died with them. So, yeah, songs like this make me cry and that's okay. It's a beautiful song and he really has a very emotive voice so it just makes it that much better.

Dances with Wolves into Jamie Johnson.... emotional roller-coaster of late😆😚💋

1st time hearing J Johnson. Immediately impacted me. Heart emotion. Wow!

Jamey Johnson is a treasure, he was Chris Stapleton, before there was Chris Stapleton. This is fantastic.

A GREAT song!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Saw him in concert, that voice filled that stadium up!

Please do "Thankful for the rain", "Mowin' down the roses", "The door is always open" and "Can't cash my checks". The most criminally underrated and ignored (by country radio) artist in the last 30 years.

Jamey Johnson was just inducted into the Grand Old Opry. Fort reference, there are only 227 members total in the history of country music.

To all of the “new” generation. Remember to create physical photo albums. Having a billion selfies in your phone is not what will be valuable, when sharing memories with others. It’s the candid/ non posed pics that are the best. Not close-ups, that void the surroundings. Like Aunt Mary’s old car, that everyone learned to drive...etc.

Just yesterday my mom (she's 87) gave me a file boc full of black & white photos from the 40's, 50's, and 60's of my relatives as kids, and she asked if I could look through them and scan some of the good ones into my computer. I spent most of the day and evening working on them and I am amazed at the history in them. We lost my dad in Vietnam in 1968, and it hurts even more to know how many things I never got the chance to hear from him.

This one gets me every time.

I have no one left to share those memories with.

This is my all time favorite song by Jamie Johnson....

🎉🎉 carrie song Don't Forget to Remember me, Real tear jerker. U gotta hear it😊

Family, generations, action was in color but photography at that time was black and white; having each other's backs.... reminds me of my family

This is also my first time hearing this song, and it brings to mind all the old photos my grandparents would always show me. One of my faves is the day they got married: she in a gorgeous wedding gown and him in his Royal Canadian Air Force uniform. I’m really missing them now. 🥹💜

I cry every time I hear this song. Once of my favorites!

One of the best of the newer country artists.

My favorite local band played this, I've heard it a hundred times, and it still busts me up.

I live near Montgomery, Alabama, and Jamey Johnson is very loved in the river region. He is an amazing artist and human.

i am 62 yo now and all the men and women of my parents generation are all gone. my advice and hope for all of you is that you take the time to know each one before they pass and you take their place as the elder. happy thanksgiving to all.

Makes me cry every dang time. Love It though.
