Heartbreaking...WHISKEY LULLABY ALISON KRAUS AND BRAD PAISELY REACTION | First time hearing

[@jojospeechy4848]

Ricky Schroeder did an amazing job directing this video. Amazing song. Awesome video.

[@maureenperez9999]

heartbreaking video. I've cried every time I've watched it since it originally came out.

[@richardfox1605]

The young guy getting of the bus is Rick Schroeder he was on a tv show in the 80s called Silver Spoons

[@janemunro4496]

You're a real sweetheart 💓 God bless you and you're family.

[@teeken8850]

The wages of sin is death! whether it is outright or a little at a time. As a barber aka. a cheap psychiatrist just like the Bartender, I can tell you that these young men coming back from war was painful, And one day a young man that i knew before and after his time in Afghanistan came to me with this same story, his answer was to return to Afghanistan with the 75th He presented me and my shop with a battle flag, and said Tee this is one of four i took from the battlefield and i want you to have this one it is displayed high upon a shelf behind my chair, Another heartbroken Hero. I haven't seen him since, I hope and pray that all his wounds are healed.

Alison Kraus has the voice of an angel.

Alison Krauss has the voice of an Angel 😇

[@kimacronym2521]

And more than 20 Grammy Awards to call her own..... for a good reason ....

[@RitaBowen1]

Yes Yes she does!!

[@rachelc8715]

My husband is a country, blue collar, rough and tough 34 year old man from MS and can’t listen to this song bc he cries every time lol It gets to everyone. Such an amazing piece of art. Hauntingly beautiful.

[@vanjalavoie550]

I'm crying too. I was cheated on by both my husbands and I haven't dated in years. I'd rather be alone than go through that hurt ever again.

[@juliecrane9647]

Does he have an eligible brother? 😄

[@MTGallagher]

Especially us veterans, as we can see this over the years.

[@terrythomas7439]

@@vanjalavoie550 I know how you feel been cheated on by every woman that I was ever with I guess it didn't help that I met them while playing music

[@McMannis505]

He’s not alone in that

[@jimmythetout109]

This is a song ....where the video is every bit as powerful as the lyrics .....Note .....the man who played the bus driver in the video ...is the same " old man in the Brooks and Dunn video ....: I believe " ....P.S. In my opinion ....you are the best reactor on KZbin ..

[@joquitasullivan6353]

Oh wow, I did not know that. Love “ I believe “ and the Brooks and Dunn video.

[@divergentsenior]

Even without the video, this song will tear your heart out.

[@dsusan17]

This song sat on the shelf for years. Rickey Schroeder starred in and directed the video. Those are Schroeder children and brother in the video.

[@actaeon299]

I know the little girl at the grave (that smiles) is his daughter. Are other children in it? And which is the brother?

[@dsusan17]

The blonde little boy with the hat on is his son. His brother is one of the military men. The one who is speaking to the soldiers that are doing the gun salute.

[@debbiechang5781]

As soon as I saw the song you were reacting to I knew it would get to you Harri. Such a sad story. Beautiful song. 🌺✌️

[@allisonreed7682]

This was only the second time I've listened to this song or seen this video. The first time had me crying so hard that I've stayed away from it ever since. Absolutely heart-wrenching.

[@cynthiajamison4006]

I remember when this song came out...and the video, I love Alison Krauss and Brad Paisley, they are such gifted singers and musicians... Ricky Schroder is the actor in the video and I believe he also directed the video. He was a child actor and then he played on the Epic miniseries Lonesome Dove...a great actor. I honestly believe that this is the saddest song I've ever heard, tears me up everytime I listen to it or watch it. I can't imagine how you must be feeling seeing it and hearing it for the first time. It really takes a lot out of you, it's just heart-wrenching.

[@cherylwilkinson3228]

I would say it's a sad song sung beautifully.

[@denisesalmon4496]

Beautifully said

[@carolynnewcomb2153]

I saw someone comment on this song and say “Love is handing someone a gun pointed at your heart and trusting them not to pull the trigger”. That was some sad, heavy stuff.

[@katturney]

This song will always punch you right in the feels. Thankfully, they both have huge catalogs of fantastic songs. Brad Paisley has a ton of fun/funny songs and the man can absolutely kill it on the guitar.

[@leebassa1545]

You were absolutely right! This DOES happen! My son learned that when he came back home from Iraq. He’s happily remarried to a true military wife.

[@billallen4793]

I spent the first 13ish year's of my life traveling around the world 🌎 on the Uncle Sam travel plan until 1985ish as an Army Bratt. The family's don't get enough respect for what they sacrifice! That's why the dandelion is the symbol for us because we make home anyplace we land!..from Wyoming USA 🇺🇸 👋🤠

[@leebassa1545]

@@billallen4793 absolutely I was born and raised on Air Force bases. Another thing they don’t do is prepare military children for civilian life! You turn 18 that’s it. It’s actually scary! I knew nothing about finding or having to have a primary doctor, dentist, optometrist, stuff like that. But also being a military child, I figured it out!

[@deegomez2089]

Alison always 🔥🔥🔥 love her duet with John Waite

[@reXdownhamOG]

Songs this sad always make me think about my own life, and the tears they bring are tears that have already been shed.

[@tinawoods8847]

My father was a Vietnam veteran who lived this story the song came out one week after he passed. My mom hit the bottle harder after he passed. The song resonates with me

[@tamarawhiston7996]

Hauntingly beautiful.

[@thatsjustlikeyouropinionma3025]

The video was produced from the memory of a story the producer knew from his home town about a WW2 soldier who came home to find his wife was sleeping around, left her became a alcoholic and died a couple of years later (PTSD also probably played a part but wasn't really diagnosed back then) when the producer heard the song it reminded him of the story from his hometown. He used it as an inspiration for the video.

[@tasiahooper2304]

The lyric “put the bottle to his head and pulled the trigger” is a gut punch EVERYTIME I hear this

[@reginastogner9535]

My cry for the evening

[@redpammy]

First time hearing/seeing this. I was with you every step of the way ... hoping we would not see what we did end up seeing! Knowing this does happen to our soldiers ... I was a young military wife during Viet Nam and saw it happen around me ... I had a wonderful support system of family around me so I tried hard not to judge! Now I can't stop crying so I understand why you need to stop for the night. Thank you for sharing this with me/us.

[@SaltyMinorcan]

First time I heard this there was no video. I cried. Then the video came out and I cried. Beautiful voices. tragic story, great song.

[@randyroberts4239]

As a young man, I took up with a married woman. They were separated but, I knew better. Was raised better.... It didn't go on long but the damage was done. Years later, I married and low and behold, the same thing happens to me. Don't ever think that God isn't watching and won't repay. Sin is a vicious task master. It RUINS lives. Not just our own. I know that I deserve to go to hell. But one night, God convicted me of my sin. It was brutal. Everything I ever did ran through my mind. The stench of my life making me sick to my stomach. The weight of it... I got on my face and asked God to forgive me. His Grace is greater than our sin! Jesus is Lord. He's the only way that we don't get what we deserve.

[@janbow5124]

It is amazing how much pain one human can cause another. I already know.

[@biancaganesh]

It's also the first time for me to hear this song. got emotional right away. what a beauty of a song.

[@melodymcdonald2140]

Another gorgeous job on the dobro by Jerry Douglas...

[@jimedwards1955]

Damn right it happens. She put him out like the burning end of a cigarette. What a great line.

Harry give Allison Krauss song jacobs dream a listen it’s a true story that happened back in the 1850’s. Great song.

[@carolespinoza8469]

Harri, as soon as I saw the title I knew this would hit you in your heart.💔💔💔💔

[@dianeritthaler7792]

Saddest song I ever heard.beautifully sung

[@stefanlaskowski6660]

Nobody with a soul doesn't get tears in their eyes from this song. Nobody.

[@jimmythetout109]

A Country tune " If you get there before I do " ...artist escapes me .....is a terrific " tear jerker " ....worth the listen ..P. S . you are , in my opinion , THE best reactor on KZbin ...

Collin Raye

[@ChicagoDB]

Colin Raye - if you get there before I do / ...it's a great song

[@naomifigueroa1428]

Artist is Collin Raye and I think it’s called ‘Love, Me’.. great song

[@lefty3141591]

Collin Raye is a really good singer and deserves a reaction or two. I think you'd like "I Think About You."

[@JUSTMAR1E]

Check out Allison Krause and union station live. Amazing singing by all.

[@amyexner]

That’s so so sad, but tragically the truth…..I just lost my husband and have not stoped crying for 8 month…I had many times the thought to join him….when you love someone it is forever.

[@AppalachiaRRlover]

As soon as I saw this on my suggestion feed I’m like oh I def have to see your reaction this song is so sad I knew it get ya and you definitely should check out more of Alison Krauss she has a voice of a celestial Angel!!!

[@deborahlewis656]

My husband was 1st in iraq..so many of his young airmen were actually sent dear john letters, and I saw wives cheating in local clubs😪this sing is so heartbreakingly beautiful 😭🎶

[@Shadowlanddream]

Jacobs Dream by Allison is right up there with this one.

[@pauldover1403]

I've never heard of Brad Paisely but I do know Alison Kraus. That is a great song and a really good video there, thanks for playing it.

[@TheOnespeedbiker]

Unknowingly the reviewer gave this song the highest rating any country song can have, by practically ignoring the performance. When a country song is played flawlessly, the listener becomes so lost in the storyline, the performer(s) disappear and you literally live and believe the story that is being told. Alison Kraus has the most beautiful haunting voice in country/bluegrass music; just incredible.

[@danieljordan7194]

This song is very hard for me to hear.Many years ago I made a horrible decision.Its been 32 years now,,and my wife stayed with me,which I didn't,and still don't deserve,but she saved our marriage.It took many many years to gain her trust back,and I will never have it back completely.So,please,think long and hard before making bad choices.And I get to carry that silent quilt with me,,every day,till I die.Though time has put it way behind us and we don't talk about it anymore,it is truly a life sentence.I literally thank God for her,every day.

[@donaldsmith283]

I love every song you play they're all awesome thank you

[@karenmiddleton995]

Goodnight Harri. Sleep well and peaceful sleep. 😴

[@kenrk]

Been to several Allison Krauss concerts, great performer... Check out "The Lucky One", "Baby Now That I Found You", "Baby Mine", and "Ghost in this House". Hope you get to some Mary Chapin Carpenter eventually - another great singer/songwriter. Songs: "Down in Mary's Land", "This Shirt", and "Passionate Kisses".

[@howrued1500]

MCC Stones in the Road another fantastic one!!

[@lefty3141591]

I'd add "Jacobs Dream" by Allison Krauss and "I Feel Lucky" and "Twist and Shout" by Mary Chapin Carpenter. Two amazing artists.

[@patriciakeith6755]

@Ken K, Hari needs to do a reaction to MCC's song The Bug. In fact, that's a good (funny) song to chase away the "blues".

[@1tishhead]

I'm amazed how few reactors have done Mary Chapin Carpenter. She's one of the all time greats. I Am A Town is my favorite but she has at least 10 or 15 worth doing.

[@howrued1500]

Agree!! Kathy Mattea also uncannily missing… Where’ve You Been and Knee Deep in a River (and dying of thirst) tho admittedly the last is a cover. But a great one! Suzy Bogus another MIA!

[@fusiliers]

For some reason, the way Brad Paisley comes in with the high harmony in the second chorus always makes it so much sadder. I can't explain why it has that effect on me.

[@Krisna_K]

You are right! Sadly some people have no control but it can go both ways! The Military person can also cheat while away! Or worse things can happen! Oh and the soldier was played by Rick Schroder who was a child star in the tv show “Silver Spoons” and was in many movies back then! Alfonso Ribeiro (played Carlton on The Fresh Prince of Bel Air) was also in Silver Spoons and played Rick’s best friend. Rick Schroder played Dolly Parton’s father in a made for TV movie about her childhood! Rick Schroder also directed this video and that’s his little girl at the end!

[@captainkangaroo4301]

She put him out like the burning end of a midnight cigarette. What a tremendous opening lyric.

[@vivianbrody510]

I love the video, because of the story of forgiveness and hope at the end.

[@justlookin11]

IMO One of the most underrated first lines of any song, anytime: the opening, "She put him out, Like the burning end of a midnight cigarette."

[@roywall8169]

That opening line perfectly encapsulates the entire story.

[@MamawT65]

This song gets me every time!

[@LadyGator1983]

Harri, I felt so bad watching your reaction. Unfortunately, you were correct when you said if somebody thought it was because it probably happened. It happens a lot with our military personnel. It’s sad that happens. There are no excuses… None! I don’t blame you for going to bed now! No more reactions for you tonight! Cheer up!

[@andrewwebb3248]

It's so often weve given the name Jodie to them and have several cadences about them.

It Also happens to the wives who wait years for her man to come home-I’m one of them.

[@jollyrodgers7272]

Guys(or gals), don't let infidelity ruin your life. Beg forgiveness and NEVER let it happen again.

[@deborahfoster3928]

I've watched several people react to this song. So far, no one has mentioned them running to & forgiving each other after death, beside the graves.❤️😥

[@donaldsmith283]

Thank you for playing country again.

[@carolespinoza8469]

Harri, I'm sure the husband was lonely while he was fighting for our country. Luv ya 💕💕

[@carrielaliberte3255]

Agreed! Beautiful voices... and such a heartbreaking story! 😢

[@jojospeechy4848]

"He put the bottle to his head & pulled the trigger"... What amazing truthful lyrics.

[@kyledensel5972]

This is flat out the saddest song that will ever be written. It’s haunting and yet beautiful and I think your reaction says it all

[@knokname6466]

A Gut-Wrenchingly Beautiful song... In 'Nam, we had a bunch of what became known as "ESP Babies", when men who'd not been home in a year received news they were "daddies now"... with many of the same results. Life ain't easy, my Friend, and we can't all roll with the punches. Thanks for the heart-felt reaction-- shows you're human and know how to love.

[@pnwcruiser]

This usually happens through correspondence received all too often on the battlefield, called a "Dear John" letter in the US military.

[@whitneygreenfield4436]

It’s a heartbreaking story and the vocals are haunting. So much pain and suffering could’ve been avoided if they were able to forgive

[@SueProst]

The little girl who saw him at the end is the soldier's (Ricky Schroeder) real life daughter

[@michaeltveten8458]

The best part, is Harri realizes how emotionally difficult it must’ve been for Allison and Brad to record this song……I can’t even imagine…

[@zebjohnson5118]

I love Alison Krauss she's a beautiful lady, can play a mean fiddle and she can sing the tears out of my eyes😢 I guess it's a matter of personal perspective but the saddest song I've ever heard is: Dolly Parton the song " Me and Little Andy" ✌️♥️

[@rosemariediamond7855]

Sad set of circumstances but beautifully and emotionally performed

[@flamencoprof]

Well, even tho' I've heard this just by Alison, I was still in tears, and this is only in third-person. I have a YT playlist of "Tearjerkers", just added this. The list starts with Hot Chocolate - Emma, a real first-person tragedy. Further misery: - The Shangri-Las - I Can Never Go Home Anymore Patsy Cline - Three Cigarettes in An Ashtray Lucinda Williams - He Never Got Enough Love Emmylou Harris - Red Dirt Girl Little Jimmy Dickens - Life Turned Her That Way Alison Krauss - Ghost In This House Lucinda Williams: Sweet Old World George Jones - He Stopped Loving Her Today Bonnie Raitt - I Can't Make You Love Me Lots of Country, & I'm a Rock fan.

My favorite by her.

[@kevinhennessey3189]

Definite to check out he should also check out "when You Say Nothing", so HAru will know she just doesn't sing sad songs. "Jacob's Dream" is much sadder IMNO since it is about a real incident.
