[@gigih.hammer306]

My sister came to visit me with her husband from Germany. On the way back from Dallas to were we lived this song came on. She didn't understood English, but she broke out crying hearing his voice the first time. She had me translate the song and she sobbed and sobbed. Before they returned to Germany she bought several C/W music songs, specially this one. She also liked George Strait and Allan Jackson and several more artists. A few years later my sister died a horrible death. Cancer ate up her body and she was in horrible pain. She died screaming, but my brother-in-law told me that she died playing George Jones song. He doctor came to her house and gave her injections of a very strong pain medication. Her illness was to far gone in her and her doctor couldn't stand the agony she suffered any longer. When she begged for another shot he gave her her last one. He knew her heart couldn't handle that very strong pain medication. He released her from her suffering. My brother-in-law told me that she had George Jones playing with this song as she was dying. I flew home for her funeral. My sister was a much liked person in that Village were she lived. She was always kind to everybody. The whole Village including her doctor attended her funeral. Her doctor was crying and tried to explain to me what happen. I thanked him for his kindness releasing my sister from her unbearable suffering. In America I was waiting for my passport. My old one had expired. I was a nervous wreck not knowing if I get it in time to attend her funeral. The same day I was waiting for my passport, my beloved German Shepherd had to be taken to the Veterinarian. She could not walk anymore without help. She had gotten a giant growth in her belly. I actually thought that she got herself pregnant. I was at work waiting to hear from the post office about my passport when the phone rang. It was the Veterinarian telling me my beloved pet had to be put down. My dog had cancer in the 4th state and could not be saved. The Vet told me she was suffering very bad. I could not go and hold my dog while they put her to sleep. She died without me holding her. I felled like a Zombie and could barely function. Finally the Post office brought me my passport. I just made it to Germany. My sister was already death for 3 days. They could no longer wait, they had to bury her. I never shed one tear at her funeral. Her whole grave was covered in flowers. My brother-in-law said had I giving her one flower a day there would be so much room left to cover her grave. He had rented a hall and after the funeral everybody went there. There were very long tables put together to seat everybody. When a waitress asked me what I wanted from the menu, I broke down. I sobbed and sobbed for my sister and my beloved dog who had to die without me holding him. Before long everybody was crying. It became the most emotional day of my life. Of course no one knew I was also grieving for my dog. After I returned to the States, my husband had buried her in a beautiful box on our land under a tree. Foe weeks I got up every night because I thought I heard my dog barking. I laid a ball on her grave and told her to play with it when she got lonely Shortly after that I didn't hear her calling me with her barking. That was one of my saddest month in my life.

Yeah, I saw one reactor who ended the song with a huge smile on his face and said "Well, he found someone else so he stopped loving her. Isn't that great?" I groaned a little at how dense he was.

It's no wonder some people hate country music. They just flat don't get it. They want to be-bop to a beat and country songs are not about the beat...or even the melody or the harmony.

This is one of my favorite songs to watch reactions. As soon as that first chorus dropped, it was clear on your face that you got it. I'd say 75% of women I see react to this song, and a little under half the men make the connection at the first chorus, and some don't at all. Very few know about the wreath on the door; most get it either from the opening line of the song and the opening line of the chorus OR the fact he's being carried away. The ambiguity is whether his death was natural or self-inflicted. The song was written with George Jones in mind, although when he was approached to record it, he didn't want to because he thought it was too sad. His career was declining at the time, so he finally agreed, and it ended up being the biggest hit of his career and arguably the greatest country song ever. He did do some fun songs, too ('White Lightning' and "The One I Loved Back Then" come to mind). And since you mentioned Alan Jackson, his performance of this song at The Possum's funeral is beautiful and heartbreaking, as is Vince Gill's performance of his own song "Go Rest High On That Mountain" (written as a tribute to both fellow artist Keith Whitley and his brother when they died), with Patty Loveless; he couldn't finish the song and she had to take over.
