Alan Jackson - Remember When (Reaction feat. Ali!)

[@dmbrew54]

It's always been said that country fans are the most loyal fans in music.

[@nicole-oe9gg]

I cried my eyes out the first time I heard this

[@quintondees4501]

This is probably Alan's best song in my humble opinion

[@puddysue]

I agree.

[@lizmorris78]

Alan is the Rembrandt of country music. He does not just sing he also paints a picture with his words.

[@chrisyoung4654]

Perfect comment!

[@aletmartins6940]

Lovely.

[@thehonestwoodcutterbradywe8011]

Best comment I've ever heard about aj

[@gagirl0499]

Perfect analogy!!

[@williamtauriello1581]

Well said.

[@davidharris1340]

I am 81 and my wife just turned 80. We have been married for 60 years. This song is one of the most beautiful love songs ever written, and holds a special place in our hearts. Thank you Alan Jackson, the tall Georgia boy.

[@justindyches5510]

I hope you both live to be 100❤ God bless you

[@conhighway]

That instrument is a mandolin. It's used a lot in country, especially blue grass.

[@johngage856]

Yeah, the ukulele comment made my eye twitch lol.

[@tactikiller]

My grandpa was a stringed instrument maker (violins, violas, cello’s, etc). The first instrument he ever made was a mandolin, and his sister managed to salvage it, someone had thrown it away. She gave it to me before she died.

[@rebepage]

I have my Grandmother’s mandolin. From Romania early 1900s.❤️

[@danielleeakins6370]

I said the same thing out loud lol

[@MrEvenStranger]

This song hits differently the older you get. You'll look back at the moments you treasure, the ones you regret and the ones that shook your world and brought about massive changes; or even the little memories of small acts of kindness and love. Every day, "remember when" becomes richer and more special as the number of days behind us grows while our days ahead begin to dwindle.

[@williamthomas7509]

It also hammers home when you start struggling to remember things and that can be brutal as you remember enough to be crushed by the lack of recall. I know there are many things I wish I would have written down. So to all the younger folk ... record your memories in some form.

[@SaltySouthTexan]

Well stated

[@kenhayhurst374]

Spot on, my friend.

[@debrasmith6549]

Exactly-means more as we see the years pass by.

[@southernbelle193]

Yes I remember my sweet little family thru the years then my son died at age 23. No regrets just memories and missing what his life could have been. Been 20 years now since Ben died. 🤍🤍🤍

[@melvin768]

One of my favorite songs by him.

[@Michelle-hg5mc]

He's such a great songwriter!!

[@debbicobb6097]

His wife wrote a book about their marriage, his cheating, their faith and finding trust and love again. It is a phenomenal book. My favorite line "remember when the sound of little feet was the music we danced to week to week". He is one of my absolute favorites.

[@luannedimaggio7025]

Name of book please

[@billwalker7556]

Yes she did. I worked for Delta in ATL while she was Delta flight attendant. knew her then. She signed a copy of her book for me at Scotts Bookstore on the square in Newnan. She introduced me to Alan and he signed several of the CD liners for me. Very nice man that never forgot his raising and where he came from.

[@billwalker7556]

​@@luannedimaggio7025 The name of the book is "It's all about him.

[@Cissy777]

Bet she left out where she cheated too

[@billwalker7556]

@@Cissy777 read it and find out

[@barrykeis4625]

I appreciate the love y'all share together. I was the same way with my wife. We also listened to this song together. Unfortunately, I lost her in a vehicle accident almost a year ago. In my mind, I still think she will come home. i guess that is me just holding on and not accepting what happened. Continue to always tell your wife what she means to you and the love you have for her. that is one thing I can hold onto, knowing she knew my love for her.

[@cliffordchang4612]

Deepest Condolences Brother!

If tomorrow never comes by Garth is the perfect song for this

[@larynanntapp6333]

They haven't invented the words to tell you how sorry I am for your loss. 💙

[@MrAvfc14]

At 65 years old, my wife and I are enjoying grand children and this song continues to be life.

[@judycole854]

Without hard times you’ll never appreciate the good times.❤️

[@doughodges3113]

Country always tells a great story

[@amberboening3448]

My aunt got pregnant at 16yo & never got to have a full wedding. A few years ago at their 50th wedding anniversary, they did their "first dance" to this song surrounded by their kids & grandkids ❤

[@stephenracklyeft9929]

Brilliant country song by a true country legend just such an emotional song

[@jerrytaylor8889]

I was a full-time Paramedic in North Carolina when the 9/11 attacks took place. 13 years into a 30 year career, I was ironically in pre-op waiting to be taken back for hernia surgery. Things slowed somewhat as the O.R. staff scrambled to make sure their children and family were safe, so I was still awake when the towers fell. That was the last place I wanted to be on that day, not knowing what else may be coming as I was put under. It was my regular shift that day & I wanted to be on the EMS unit to which I was assigned, not going out for several weeks of recovery. Now retired, I still remember it as if it were yesterday.

[@glockensig]

You will miss your girls being little.....no matter how good they grow up to be! Trust me!!

[@LorraineMcCain]

i tell my grown son ,he will always be his parents little boy ... and now his wife is about to give him the joy he gave us .. i have a photo taken at the hospital the first time i sat and held him in the palm of my hand .. i knew just what i was thinking at that moment .. WHAT WAS HE GOING TO BE LIKE AT 30 years old will he be married to a women he will love for ever like i have with his mom of 41 years .. .well 32 years have passed seems like yesterday .......i remember when ..

[@caroleunderwood953]

I loved this song so much. It meant so much to me that I had it played at my late husbands funeral. The words in that song was so paralleled with our life of 46 yrs I had to have it played.

[@Hobodeluxe960]

I had 42 yrs with my late wife. And yeah this one hits. So does "Into The Mystic" by Van Morrison. It takes on a whole new meaning when you're the surviving spouse.

[@caroleunderwood953]

So true!

[@Lustie]

Sorry for your loss.

[@jamescarrell6365]

@Hobodeluxe960 I couldn't imagine the pain of losing my spouse. We've been married for 27 years. Sorry for your loss.

[@TripletDad3]

As the dad of three daughters, his song. "Drive (for Daddy Gene)" is one of my favorite Alan Jackson songs.

[@johnsonms215]

My husband and I were married over 41 years when he passed away. This was our song. 😢❤

[@jeffautry111]

I lost my wife to a long battle of depression and this song is still relevant. Our daughter and I still remember when. We have learned it doesn’t get easier, but the memories get us through.

[@amyhenningsgard8618]

💔🌹

[@justindyches5510]

😢 damn just tear my heart out. Why don't you? May God bless you and I pray he takes your pain and turns it into strength

[@granny2012joan]

My husband and I have. Been married for 54 years and this song saids it all. You guys are great, love you ❤️❤️❤️

[@maryfd536]

One of the best love songs written. Alan Jackson really does it justice.

[@leeallen9182]

It goes by in a blink. Treasure every second

[@MichaelSisley-fw3xr]

This is my favorite Jackson song! I love it. I and my wife are 65. We have lived a tough life, together. Our children are grown now. I spent 28yrs in the Army, infantry. My good wife did a LOT, during all the separation of training, deployments, and the hardest, missing events and special days the kids had like birthdays, Christmas, and those moment your kids do anything the first time, like ride a bike, lose their front teeth, a dance recital or a football game. What a wife. I love her, will always love her, and refuse to EVER take her for granted. We are a team.

[@emiliesv2767]

I cry each time i hear this song ❤❤❤

[@stevenrogers9123]

Alan Jackson is one of the greatest of all time. He writes songs that touch your heart. Love your reactions.

[@verdabehner8963]

AJ voice is smooth as silk and soft as a baby cheeks. Tender, emotional

[@Meesanator]

I am now a Grandma and I can tell you that you miss it all. You remember even the bad times with fondness. I had 3 boys and a girl. I even miss the chore chart being on the fridge. Cherish every single moment, even the tough ones. It does go fast, I know it doesn't seem it now, but trust me!

[@amyhenningsgard8618]

Amen❤

[@amandaieraci6158]

The most talented country singer ever! Writes the music and the lyrics! And his vocals!

[@aequitasveritas5908]

24yrs. With MY wife 3 boys all grown and now grand babies. This song hits me in the gut so hard every time I tear up.

[@mandamorris7934]

This is such a beautiful song... My late husband used to sing it to me... I've not listened to it since he passed 8 years ago.... until your video here... Blessings sweet ones... Happiness always....

[@amyhenningsgard8618]

💔🌹

[@dannycorbitt2389]

I could tell when the lyrics started getting to him. He began to chew the heck out of the gum... Enjoyed the video... Real Emotional!

[@alicestephens2233]

I love how he uses the mandolin so wonderfully in most of his videos...its just beautiful...just like his songs...wholesome family oriented songs about real life...about the life most of us secretly dream ours would or should be like...its a shame the world today no longer takes the time with things going at such a fast pace to take time to enjoy and notice....things that would make a difference in the world are being erased...things we should take time for like family and simple moral values....maybe all of us should start thinking about all of this on a daily basis instead of everythin

[@vickybrackin7483]

Alan wrote this for his wife for their 20th Anniversary!! Beautiful song!! React to The Older I Get!!

[@poguemom3]

My hubby and I have been married 27 years. This song is such a perfect summary of life. It makes me cry every single time I hear it. 💜

We played this song at our wedding reception. Love it!

[@garybyrnes4496]

I have lived it. I'm 72. My wife and I will celebrate our 53 wedding anniversary this year.

[@strichardson14]

This was played with pictures at my granddaddy’s funeral…. his birth to his passing in order …. makes me sad and happy every time I hear it

[@Beeper68]

The older you get, the more you experience, and the more this song means. Great song.

[@meganthompson111]

Alan is my all time favorite. Him and Denise are high school sweethearts. Then almost parted ways then came back together. They have 3 daughters and just recently a grandson. Please dive into his music! My favorite is “Home” about his childhood and the house he grew up in.

[@brendaclark8344]

"Home" is my favorite too and another is "Chasin That Neon Rainbow" about his journey to fame.

[@billwalker7556]

Alan and Denise are from Newnan, GA. I live there. Many of his songs contain places and his experiences growing up in Newnan.

[@gagirl0499]

My favorite verse is “remember when 30 seemed so old, now looking back, it’s just a stepping stone” it really is so true. 30 years of marriage here.

[@egomaniac247]

Nickey remember when we were in our teens and you heard someone was "30" and you thought "dang they're old" LOL

[@gigeastman]

Very appropriate, we celebrated out 50th a few months ago.

[@roughfriend9979]

Wow! Congratulations! I’m going on 35, can’t wait for 50!

[@PirateLeota]

Just celebrated our 40th wedding anniversary last year, and I turned 60 just a month before. This song makes me cry, tears of joy and sadness. It's the story of our lives, all of us. It's touching when you hear it in your 20s and 30s, but at my age it's the song of my heart. Thank you so much for sharing this. God bless you.❤

[@jopat1424]

Drive by him is one I love. His daughters are in the video. One of my favs.

[@lorigurney7280]

Yes I was thinking the same thing!

[@billwalker7556]

His wife and parents are also in the video as well.Most of the video was shot in thier home town of Newnan, Ga

[@joelharris3389]

Adorable, your reaction! Looking back over 42 years of life with my Highschool sweat heart I remember when very HARD! Tears are life!

[@debbiehardee4597]

Country music always tells a story.

[@galerios1]

That very beautiful woman in his videos is his wife. And they are still together. They are actually one of the most famous couples in America considering the... turnaround, when it comes to couples in Hollywood and the music industry.

[@BigJohnKC]

She really has beautiful eyes and this meant a lot to her, awesome

[@mikeplott4817]

Great Reaction my wife and I have our 50th anniversary in April and we are living with our daughter and her 6 kids and we are helping them. But it’s great for us to 👍🙏 👣 we will never be left alone 😊👩‍❤️‍👨

[@keetahbrough]

The song HITS ya, when you've seen your children grow up, and go. When the blink is over. Looking back, because we all do, we all have to, in order to see how far we've come. But a song that made me FEEL old and wise.. when I was 12? Bob Segar, Like a Rock. Have ya heard that one? That one always made me feel nostalgic, as a youngster lolol. As an adult now, the song tells the story of so many people.

[@jessicagrieves4041]

That sweet lil kiss you gave your wife at the end made my day, thank you for your wonderful reactions. I enjoy your videos, have a great day with your beautiful family.

[@tammymeade160]

Thank you for all your reactions..keep doing what you do

[@thomshin2460]

To have to fight back the tears is a understatement (whew)

[@colton29eva]

Alan Jackson - the older I get … it’s a must.!!!!!!

[@sylverfeathers]

Love the reaction and love you both. Need to do all the reactions as a couple, Be Blessed

[@jerryarbaugh3965]

My wife and I are coming up on our 44th anniversary in April. This song truly brings back memories of our short time together. The good times, bad times, and everything in between require love, patience, and more than anything else, commitment. When you think you can't go on, try to imagine your life without your hearts core. When we were 19 and nobody gave us a chance except us.

[@liamhilt1822]

You know you got a good song when the first 3 seconds give you chills.

[@Gashouse69]

At my age with two adult daughters and two Grandkids I am at a place to truly appreciate this song.

[@ralphkern380]

A very old quote from a country artist (way back in the 50s) when asked why his music was so popular, he said "It's 3 chords and the truth." If you like this one (how could you not) try "When Daddy Let Me Drive"

[@ltinva4714]

He did an AMAZING song called Drive as a tribute to his father and his girls. Such a good song!!

[@vickybrackin7483]

They were high school sweethearts and married in 1979, Newnan, Ga. They went through rough times in their marriage but, always stayed together!!

[@firemedic5100]

Alan Jackson is one of the last true country artist. Pretty much the last of true country music.

[@brentscott3441]

It's not a Uke, it's a Mandolin. Gorgeous solos and harmonies that cut through!

[@tinasmallwood9546]

I love how Ali knows all the country songs! A rabbit hole on Alan Jackson wouldn't be a waste of your time.. he has some really fun songs you know the toe tapping kind of songs that you end up singing the chorus all day. Great reaction.. continue to lead him down the path of country music Ali!!

[@wendymartin4892]

The perfect song for life ❤️

[@nannerfly345]

The woman in the video is his real wife. Beautiful song.

[@richardwarmack287]

Having lived over 65 years and being with my sweetheart for almost 44 of those years, these words hit home. My baby boys are now 42 and 39, and it seems like yesterday that I first held HER and them in my arms the first time. You two are such a sweet couple. Hope you enjoy life together for a long time so you to can remember. Memory is such a wonderful thing!

[@janeadams8355]

My husband and I were married 44 years when God called him home. Out struggles always brought us closer because we had overcome.❤

[@patbutler6702]

Ali I watch as you listen to these songs. I see how much you relate to the words. I hope the good times always win. Remember the dance, those quite times get you through the rough spots.

[@MAX-cm6hs]

The world loves Alan Jackson!

[@jamesstephens5874]

I love your reactions, I love you and your wife, One correction you reacted to a couple of country songs and mentioned them playing a ukulele. Those are not ukuleles they are mandolins which are primarily used in country music. Keep up the good job I look forward to watching more reactions. Try to learn more about country music because unlike all other music country comes for the heartland, the backwoods of America. Three cords and the truth is country. God bless to you and your family.

[@Krob039]

This is about memory and a beautiful life with the one you love.

[@cedarcreeper1859]

Been married 30 yrs, every anniversary i find a moment in the day to play this song and stop everything to dance with my wife! Best wishes for you both to get to this point!

[@robhoover495]

Great reaction guys. I appreciate your vulnerability and openness.

[@LillyMarz777]

We met when I was 16, he was 26. We had 41 years together before I lost him 5 years ago. This is Alans best song, in my opinion.

[@egomaniac247]

I just found your channel and have watched a few videos....I just wanted to say, from a complete stranger, you, your wife, and your daughters are such a beautiful family. I'm proud of you all and I don't even know you. Congrats sir. I subbed.

[@bobbyharris1287]

This song is so beautiful, we played it at my mom's funeral to represent her life story, I cry everytime I hear it! Thank you.

[@katykilminster2172]

This song always reminds me of my grandparents. They got married at 16 and 19 years old, brought 4 beautiful babies into this world, sadly lost 2 of them. They've had some high highs and low lows but always did it together. This june they will celebrate their 70th wedding anniversary.

[@commonsense6967]

Congratulations to them!That's quite an accomplishment.

[@affiliate3percent908]

As a father of 7 husband of 1, with 3 adult children and nearing an empty nest, we sooo relate to this song.

[@firefighting_yeti]

I really enjoy your reactions and that you are not afraid to share your faith. The Older I Get by Alan Jackson is another great song from his "later years" Alan has many great songs. His music from the early 90s from him has a different tone and attitude.

[@scottrosga950]

You two have restored my faith in the younger generation! Tonight is one of those sleepless nights for me, so I've been watching you guys all night. My wife loved this song, and it brought me to tears. I was diagnosed with leukemia 6 years ago, and my wife was diagnosed with metastatic colon cancer in Sept. 0f 2020. Two days before her diagnosis, we really started to start making serious retirement plans. Unfortunately, she passed away a few days before Thanksgiving of 2021 after 21 years of marriage at the age of 47. We were looking forward to growing old together and enjoying retirement and future grandchildren. This song reminds me so much of what was, and what was yet to come. God Bless You All! There are a couple of other songs I think you'll like one is "Yesterday When I Was Young" by Roy Clark and "Paint Me A Birmingham" by Tracy Lawrence.

[@Cheetos0555]

I listen to this song just so I can cry thinking about how much I love my woman

[@pinky2245]

I love Alan Jackson's music! It's sad that he's unwell now, but he's still hanging in there and doing what he does best! A country duo you might like is Brooks & Dunn - "Neon Moon" is my favorite. Ronnie Dunn has an incredible voice!

[@bjh1]

I love that you share your faith. God bless you both and may you have long lives together 🙏❤
