When I first heard this song I was driving home from work at 3 am. The words made me cry for the first time in a long time. It made pray so hard because my wife at the time was pregnant and we were advised that one of them would not survive the labor. "I'm with your ghost again" is when I bawled and begged God to take me instead. We're all alive and healthy

ZZB has dozens of great songs, my daughter loves "Natural Disaster" I like all the Floady Boatwood ones (Knee Deep, Toes, The Wind, Island Song, No Hurry, Jump Right In). I also enjoy "Beautiful Drug" and "Someone I Used to Know"

This is a true story. One of the songwriters said this in an interview: There was a girl I was seeing, who lived in Kansas City. We really liked each other, but geography and timing just wasn't working for us. She was getting pretty frustrated with the whole thing and wanted me to slow down, as far as traveling so much and all those things. I wasn't willing to do that because we were just getting started, and I'm chasing my dreams. I was going to see her. We were in Green Bay, Wisc., playing a show with Little Big Town, and it was pouring down snow. We were supposed to go to Kansas City the next day for some radio thing, but the radio people canceled. Instead, we just went on to wherever we were going next. I had to call her and tell her that I wasn't going to make it. She was not a happy camper. She let me have it. I hung up the phone, walked on the bus and wrote the chorus and the melody to the chorus. Me and Zac worked on the first chorus together. I knew the song was special. You can just tell as a writer when you've written something that has a chance to be big or special. I knew that one was.

“Colder weather” symbolizes him not being able to commit to the girl he knows he should be with. “I don’t want you but I need you” he knows he should be with her but he has commitment issues

I first heard this song the day my grandfather died. My girlfriend and I were gonna hang out that day, and my grandfather died. I didn’t know how to deal with it, my girlfriend came over, and we listened to the radio and she consoled me. This song came on the radio, and she told me she wouldn’t leave me. That was the same day she first said she loved me. To this day we are still together, and this song gives me two different emotions at the same time, it’s hard to listen to it, but it also helps me through tough times too. It’s hard to explain.

The co-writer, Wyatt Durrette, states this song is about the inability to commit to a relationship while chasing one’s dreams....and a truck driver literally being separated from his lover by cold weather. I think this song may be a perfect example of sometimes things being exactly what they present themselves to be.

@@kristinkeiner9936 I hear. Don't normally think of trucks being held up by cold weather, so that may be why people were reading that as a metaphor.

Ouch.

My favorite Zac Brown song by far, and it makes me emotional every time I hear it. Thanks for the video and your appreciation for his voice.

I remember this song as one of the first country songs that brought me down the road you're on 🍣, was Christmas of 2011 I was visiting my grandma and I went for a walk the only station I could get was local country and I started to cry during it I listened to more ZBB and now I get the same way every time I hear it, it reminds me of my roots into the genre and how I've come since

I'll second Hwy 20 ride.

This song strikes at the core of me. I've been a truck driver for 30+ years and just in my blood. I don't WANT to leave... but I've got a Gypsy Soul and can't be cooped up. She stands faithfully at the door each time and watches my taillights fade. Cowboys and Truckers.

Being from Quebec, french part of Canada, I stumbled upon Zac Brown by mistake and it's a mistake I would repeat every day of my life!! We don't listen to Amrican country much here (or don't talk about it much), but Zac Brown Band is a must-listen to!! Guys aren't afraid to try new things, tread new paths and reinvent themselves!! Kudos for that! You are an amazing youtuber! Love your react videos, very emotional, true and grounded! Keep it up!!

I’ve enjoyed watching your videos and watching your channel grow. It was just a few months ago when I saw you had 17k followers - now your over 40k. That’s awesome! Congrats.

I love this song and I have a different view of the end that apparently I only have when he says "I'm with your ghost again" you can hear his voice change into this somber tone that makes me think the love passed as he was out driving.

I wanted to thank you for introducing me to songs I haven't heard before. I knew some of the country songs you have done, but I am basically an old rocker. I appreciate most types of music when the musicianship is outstanding.

I first heard this song when someone from my past said it reminded him of me and our time together. He was in the military. Life got in the way and I ended up moving away it wasn’t in the cards for us. Now we both are married to other people with kids. Colder weather is a metaphor I believe for commitment issues. Definitely bring a back memories when I hear it.

This song always reminds me of a time when my wife was still in Colorado and I was in Seattle taking care my dad until he passed and she was helping her mom recover from a fall. Circumstances kept us from seeing each other for a little over a year. And there was about a total of 3 1/2 years of separation due to this. This song always made me smile and think about getting home(Colorado).Yes we are still happily together and having our own adventures together in the mountains in Oregon.

It was written from the prospective of a truck driver who gets stuck away from his loved one due to snow. It's one of my favorite Zac Brown songs.

I was in my car driving to work when I first heard this song. Today it is my favorite song of all time. Love your videos!!

My wife and I have seen Zac Brown in concert several times. Years ago he opened for Dave Mathews and his first song was a Rage song. He absolutely killed it. The man can probably sing just about anything and make it sound good.

"Free" is one of their best songs

I like the song, I love the video- before cars, before electric lights, he’s trying to get home lost in a storm, she’s putting lamps in the window to guide him home in a whiteout, fires his rifle because he’s lost, so she lights the barn on fire to show him the way home. So good

I've been binge watching you and just wanted you to know you are amazing and your reaction vids are so the best! I definitely had to finally be a subscriber😁

Herd this song leaving a funeral of a team mate that served with me in the service after PTSD defeated him and he took his own life I think of him often. Thankyou for all you do on your reaction videos.

New to your channel, love your input to so many of these songs that I have listened to. Picking up more in the lyrics.Nice job!

IT IS SOOOO NICE TO SEE A BEAUTIFUL HEART FILLED WITH ALL TYPES OF MUSIC! YOUR TRUE HEARTFELT REACTION TO A SONG IS PRICELESS...

I saw Zac Brown in concert . It was a good concert. I'm glad to see her experiencing new music. I like her. She needs to listen to Good bye in her eyes. These are the kind of song you grab your girl and dance the night away too.

This makes me think of my wife every time I leave for the road. I’m an over the road truck driver and home always feels so far away. Love the job hate being away from her.

I'm so happy you're doing more country reactions. I really like you and your channel. Sometimes I feel bad because I know what some of these songs can do to a person. There are a few country songs that I've heard a hundred times and they still make me tear up. Thanks for reacting to Zac Brown. They have several other good songs. Their newer stuff got kind of weird though, wasn't as good, imo. Highway 20 ride has been mentioned several times that is one of my favorites, and Chicken Fried is the song that put Zac Brown on the map.

I always thought this song was about a trucker that couldn't choose between the love of his life and his love of the road, and she passed away before he solidified his choice. "I'm with your ghost again" "when I close my eyes I see her, no matter where I am, I can smell your perfume through these whispering pines" "It's a shame about the weather, but I know soon we'll be together and I can't wait til then". This song hits hard for me.

The Zac Brown Band has had a ton of great songs. I do have a request: Would you please react to "Remember When It Rained" by Josh Groban. He is a man with a very powerful and angelic voice. Josh first was disc when he appeared in an episode of "Ally McBeal" in the 1990's. Josh had role in the episode and he sang in the last few minutes of it. David Foster took him under his wing and Josh never looked back. He is one of the most kindest, sweetest, funniest and humble people in the entertainment business.

I'm so glad this was your introduction to zac brown band. Most people start with "chicken fried" or "toes" and while they are fun catchy songs i really love their more meaningful ones like "hwy 20 ride" or "sweet annie" also I got to see them in concert years ago they are freaking amazing live and you can really tell they put their all into their performances.

One of my favorite of the genre. It keeps getting better and better as it goes on.

You'll love "Sweet Annie" Zac Brown Band has tons of great song. Very diverse. I see them in concert every year.

I was going to say Goodbye In Her Eyes. It's my favorite song by them. They're all great!

I've seen Zac Brown twice. Didn't know anything about them the first time I went. Became a fan instantly

Zac's one of my favorite male vocalist... I don't listen to country much but I can appreciate his music... He really shows his range on the song "Free"...

So glad you did this one i suggested in your other video. Great song. Awesome band. Song actually came out when i was trying to date a girl too. The lyrics are poetically put together.

LOVE Colder Weather! It gets me every time

Don't remember the first time I heard this song but recently this song took on a whole different meaning to me at the last verse....it makes me think of my best friend Jeannie who passed away....one of my favorite Zac Brown songs.....maybe my favorite by them

I totally had a lover when this song first came out and he left me like this... playing games. Beautiful song.

Zac Brown Band writes some of the best lyrics in country music today. So deep, poetic, and meaningful.

I was just coming back from iowa I moved there for 31/2years and I know the truck stop just west of Lincoln nebraska been there many times. Makes me miss iowa awesome song highway 20 ride is off the charts makes me think of my daughter when I left to go to iowa and the years I spent there without my little girl .....

I love your country reactions! You are beautiful and your hair is FIRE!

That’s the great thing about country music, the songs always tell a story that brings some emotion forward. Which is why country will stand the test of time.

Highway 20 Ride. Any parent who messed up and caused them to be away from the ones they loved will hold that song in a special place in their heart.

One of my favorite songs of all time..it brings a tear.....i was once a gypsy soul......

Love the reaction! Yeah, ZBB can really tug at your heart-strings!

This song is made from a truck drivers perspective and the video is a metaphor for him being stuck in other places around the country except with his love so it's cold hence colder weather they explained it in an interview but that's the most of the story !!! I think Zac Brown is amazing in almost every song he does

That piano introbgets me everytime..im in a long distance relatioship...and listen to this alot...cant believe i just found it on your channel lol

2018, I drove from Nevada to Washington. This song came on and I played it on repeat cause it just hit me spot on. Lol funny how songs do that.

First time hearing this; it’s in my country playlist now!

Your reactions are the best in my opinion, your honest. Your helping bridge this gap.. your seeing we’re all the same.. we all share have the same emotions.humaity not race..

I honestly love your raw emotion. This may be weird, your hair is beautiful. Thank you for heart felt reaction. Keep up your reactions. Honestly I'm not a creeper.

“Colder weather” is a metaphor. As others have said, it’s a fear of commitment. It’s also a metaphor being used literally. Using random excuses like the weather, as to why he can’t make it “home.” On a writing level, the song is brilliant. It’s the song that band was made to make.

Definitely all time favorite band no matter what genre and top 5 favorite song

Try these from Zac Brown too, "Highway 20 ride", "Goodbye in her eyes" and "Leaving love behind", "My Old man", "Homegrown", "Day that I die"

I was in drug rehab in TN. Meet a girl there but couldn't stay. Had to get back to Texas to raise my son. She died 2 years later and the song makes me think of her and TN every time I hear it.

My favorite ZB song. I always took the cold weather to abstractly represent that place where us solitary people spend most of our lives. We want the warmth of friends and a relationship, but are yet compelled to be on our own... Hence, stuck in "colder weather".

Cold weather is a metaphor about ow you are stuck in a place and don’t know what to do. Also this is is the first one of your videos I’ve watched and I’m definitely gonna watch more

Zac Brown is one of my favorite country bands.. We knew about this band here in Alabama long before he hit the national stage. Lol Jolene is probably their best song

Yea “highway 20 ride” is another great song by them and if you ever see them live OMG they put on a heck of a live show

Highway 20 Ride, Goodbye in Her Eyes, Chicken Fried...They have got so many good ones.

I was in Gym class with my girlfriend (at the time) and I heard it come out over the radio and we started dancing to it

This used to be my theme song. It's about not being able to sit still as a nomad, or gypsy gripped by wanderlust. Then things change or end from being away all the time for so long.

I used to spend 200+ days on the road for the military and it was always hard to say goodbye.
