About two months ago my girlfriend, that I had planned on proposing to when I graduated in december, passed away. This was one of our favorite songs to sing together while in my car. This song has never hit so close to home till now after she has passed. Something I will forever take to heart.

He just broke mainstream with this song. He has been selling out the Houston Texans stadium for the Houston Livestock Show & Rodeo the past few years. He has been big in the Texas Country and Red Dirt (Oklahoma) music circuit for a long time.

The line about " Mamma " really breaks me every time and I shed a few tears. My Mom was 49 when she passed from Liver Cancer and it happened relatively quickly. 8 months from diagnosis till she passed. I was 30 at the time and I really thought I had many many more years with her. I regret every time she called me and asked me to come hang out with her when my Dad was out of town ... Just to watch movies and talk and laugh and enjoy some time together. Unfortunately there were ( looking back ) way too many times I told her I couldn't because I had other things going on and now its one of the biggest regrets I have in my life and I can't go back. 😭 Great message ... And now Im crying 😂 I love you Mamma and you're missed more than words can express , Until I see you again ❤😘

Mike, based on the many comments on this video, you are not alone. My dad was a few years back from cancer. Amazing how well this song hits home for so many.

Like so many others, I am dreading the day(s) when I lose my parents. I haven't lost them yet, and if i'm lucky i've still got another 30 years or so. The thought of not being able to talk to them, to ask for help or advice, is terrifying.

He wrote this song because he almost died in a plane crash but when you don’t know that you would think the song is talking about grandpa passing away or your girl leaving and so on but it’s really neat how he wrote the song to be like that he is truly amazing and I love this song because my grandpa passed back in august he pretty much raised me cause my dad was never around I was always with him he taught me to be the man that I am and I got his truck. Not only that including him we had 3 family members pass in a span of 3 months all from cancer my grandpas death hit me the most cause we was really close he always told everybody that I was his arms and legs.

I was super close to my grandfather, he was the nicest man you could know. He never once raised his voice in anger to anyone and he never said no to buying me a new toy at Walmart even though he didn’t have much money. Needless to say I was a spoiled grandson but I loved him, he taught me to fish and how to shoot a gun. But he passed away of organ failure, but before he passed away the whole family was there at the hospital and we had been there for days and he must’ve known he was passing because he told everyone to go home but I stayed behind and I said “i couldn’t leave you pawpaw” and he said to me “if your face is the last face I see then I can die a happy man, you’ve turned into a fine young man and you have my love and respect” Then I noticed his heart rate dropping and I said “well pop I guess this is it” with tears running down my face and he just nodded and leaned back and he was gone. I miss him every day, I still see him in my dreams and that was 10 years ago.

I love that song as well … Congratulations Alexis … I’m so proud of you … You are a natural…

Deep and warm voice. In country music, we call that baritone. Randy Travis was the most prolific baritone in country music. Check him out. Sadly, he’s lost his voice and mostly body functionality due to a massive stroke years ago. He is a hall of tamer, considered one of the GOATS. It’s so fn sad. God given gift ripped away.

Lost my Dad in 96 and my Mon in 97. I was 19 and 20, would give anything to be able to talk to them again. Miss them everyday.

Great addition with Alexis. Love Cody Johnson. His sound reminds me of 90's country. He has a lot of great songs. I would suggest Fenceposts or On My Way To You. Not trying to compare him to the legend, but his style of music and the way he sings I can always imagine that George Strait would have taken each one to No. 1 in the 90's and 2000s. It just sounds like songs George would have picked and played.

I have a request, he's a newe country artist Will Dempsey, song is called Beat you there. This is a Great Song! I know Stephanie will Love it. Thanks!

You gotta react to dear rodeo by Cody Johnson. Plus there's a movie about it

Anathema's One Last Goodbye is another great song that you'd enjoy musically. It is an emotional song about the band members mother. Danny and Vincent Cavanagh lost their mother and made a song about her. It's from the late 90s. I'd decide for the album version. They were from the UK. Please, give'em a try. There is so much music in the underground that you haven't discovered, yet.

Good lord, that was tough… and now everyone is crying, & thinking about every relationship, situation, and opportunity that they haven’t been giving proper attention, and making us all feel extremely guilty. Or maybe that’s just me. But today, I’m calling my mom & a sick uncle.

The girl in the video (the one on the phone) lost her brother unexpectedly. She got "that phone call" and her husband goes up to comfort her and she puts him on the phone because she's too upset to talk. The video was showing all the things her brother did, like spending time with his dad, grandpa and friends. It's basically saying do all that while you can because you never know.

You mentioned a song that was specific to a car, but never circled back to it. I can't help but wonder if it was Riding with Private Malone. That's the song that comes to my mind. You should also check out Where the Wild Things Are by Luke Combs.

Burch, hugs man, so sorry for your loss. I lost my mother, too, August of last year, from dementia. She was 93. I was her caregiver for her last almost three years, just quit work to be with her. I am so glad I did. Yeah, the pain is still so raw and little things will catch me unawares and open those floodgates. I just don’t think I ever told her how much I loved her and how much she meant the world to me enough in this life. Sending love and light. Loving the channel!

A good "mom song" is In Loving Memory by Alter Bridge.

In the video, the young fella lost his life. He is the one glasses and sun glasses that was in each scene. Try "Rodeo" by Cody and Reba.

It’s the fn Catalina wine mixer! Lmao (step brothers reference)

Please react to Watching My Old Flame by Cody Johnson! It’s a tear jerker

Hey can you do a reaction of “dirt cheap” by Cody Johnson and had to pull over as I sobbed through the song it’s one y’all would be great to see… not see you cry but see your true emotions :-) ❤
