Billy Dean Only The Wind

[@susietill8409]

Beautiful song!! Reminds me of my Childhood. I had the best Parents and the best Childhood. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@SophieTheBagel1984]

I was 7 years old when this song came out and it brings back so many memories. My mom ADORES country and we used to listen to the country radio station in the car. So whenever I hear 90's country, it takes me back to being a kid running errands with my mom.

[@ericsmith8907]

The haunting feeling of this song just adds to its brilliance. Billy has such a clean sounding voice and his songs still sound fresh today!

[@donnydeutsch8258]

So I had the most amazing opportunity to see Billy for the third time in my life the other night. It was nothing like I was expecting. It was 10 times better. Just him and his guitar singing the songs that made him famous. Singing and telling stories about his life. I wouldn't trade that night for anything in the world. The only thing that would have made it better would if I had gotten the opportunity to meet him.

[@demetriusshuler1391]

That's incredible dude! I'm one of his newest and younger fans just discovering his music. This is my favorite song of his by far. He'was soooooo good in his prime. I love his older music.

[@kristylewandowski8485]

You grow out of some artists as you get older, but Billy Dean's songs remain powerful and touching. Twenty-five years later, and his songs have only gained depth and meaning.

I love this song. I had that tape at one time and used to play it over and over. I don't know where it is currently. I saw Billy perform in person in the 1990s. He has a beautiful voice.

[@EdwardTotland]

tells an entire story of a life and a relationship with amazing metaphorical lyrics

[@philipbaldwin2078]

I remember this beautiful song back in 1991.

1992

[@philipbaldwin2078]

@@jimbotc2000, released in ‘91 but you’re right, on the charts in ‘92.

[@jimbotc2000]

True. I was just going by the chart, and it was really the first week of 1992, so I guess it can also be considered the very end of 1991. Also, the album BILLIE DEAN was released in September of 1991. "Only The Wind" was the second single release from the album. In summary, 1991 sounds appropriate. :-]

[@isitrealgood]

This is a blast from the past. I remember it very clearly on CMT. the "screen door slams" and you see his face and the child's face recoil. Yeah, "it's only the wind". And it's a nice ending, the "young Billy" sleeping... now Billy and the dog outside in the driveway.

[@donnydeutsch8258]

Only country star I had the privilege of seeing twice in concert. Once with Alan Jackson and Clint Black. I wish he had gotten bigger than what he did.

[@paulajane9828]

I love everything about this song forever 😎🎸💯❤

[@ryanskinner5985]

Country Gold right here. I had a unfortunate childhood and this song helped me, nightly.

[@jscountrygirl85_326]

I remember watching this video together with my dad when it first came out. Always loved this song! Wish I could go back to these times.

[@MorrisB1971]

A song that actually sounds airy and like you floating on air like what the wind sounds like when it blows!! Incredible song!!

[@shad0w.w0lf15]

Exactly. A song from the heart. ❤️

[@MorrisB1971]

what an awesome old school real country song!! the memories

[@suzannevanderbeck9667]

Facing homelessness, Billy...a place where the sun don't shine. God bless you.

[@candaceniewinski4537]

Oh how I adore this song.

[@SillyLooBird]

God this, Holes in the Floor of Heaven and Someone Else’s Star is country that’ll break you.

[@micklove3388]

Im only 12 but this ia my fav song

[@franciedavis2991]

Thank you for sharing this one!!! I always have a hard time finding it and I LOVE it!!!

[@suzannevanderbeck9667]

It is not by might...but by the spirit says the Lord. Make it happen for us, Lord. Please don't tarry. I love them all. No more screen doors. I won't allow a screen door on the next house. No. No more. More tears. Conviction? I had to learn to love. Having been beaten for weeks by mother, then having to wait until Daddy got home for more...I didn't know how to love a child. My love grows for my children. Lord, soften hearts...bring us all into submission to you. I love them, Lord.

[@GavinRunningHorse-dw1ix]

The song reminds me the 90 I was just a little kid when I heard this song and years later I still listen to it good song to listen to

[@jeffreyrudd445]

Brings back memories of me being scared of the dark and mom would sit with me man what I wouldn't give to be young again and all the times I said I wanna be older I should have my ass kicked

[@valuecalc]

Wanting to be older too soon is a fool's errand.

[@suzannevanderbeck9667]

Ok. I am going to trust as to who you are. I can't stop wanting to love my son...like you can't stop wanting to love me, too. It can't be stopped, Billy, and I can see that. I am on the same page now. Give it a chance now. Tears. More tears. Can't hold back the ocean...not sure I would even try.

[@gardydesormeaux8820]

It's only the wind and nothing more ....

[@suzannevanderbeck9667]

Flicking my BIC...sprinkling the blood of the Lamb. A Moses calling is upon my life.. He also sprinkled the blood of the Lamb.

[@suzannevanderbeck9667]

Crying again. ;) I am glad to be able to remember some things now. I don't remember much about the pregnancy. It will come. A wastebasket contained the cutest little boy while I took a break from walking with my baby. Sunglasses. The wastebasket was clean. Dropping off Baby at the police station so I could shop. Going to next door neighbor for a holiday treat. Halloween, I think. Here we were 8-9 years old and we were addressed by her as though we were adults. Unsure where the money came from to pay the bills. My sister cannot remember my having left for a time. Sad song. BILLY, BUT A GOOD ONE. well done.

[@therealmccoy3500]

I wish it was only the wind...

[@suzannevanderbeck9667]

I love you, Billy. It is the PTSD. Don't give up on a family relationsship if you are my son. The DNA can be done behind closed doors. It can be done separately, but so many coincidences...you haven't convinced me yet. Convince me. I cannot handle people right now. How would you know so many things about my youth?

[@joeyracs7469]

ULTIMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAATE!

[@suzannevanderbeck9667]

I am where they want me, Lord. I am where the sun don't shine and the moon's not bright. The screen door slammed and Momma left that night,, but Momma has a good boy. Momma believes that this little seed is yet blossoming. The cherished child is awe inspiring. I am never tiring to see him, to be what is needed to see this boy win. If I have to die so my children can fly, so be it. Dieing to self, putting life a shelf, so be it. So be the high as a flutterby flies. So be the sky in which triumph delights. So be the lows that the moth truly knows. So be the shows that know every boy sows into. The Green Machine, the Jolly Green Giant, the life that was quenched, the tree that was drenched in snowy remains...life shows the gains, nary the pains of superstardom. Hearts get hardened and man-made sharmans reach for the Charmin because death looms near though there's nothing to fear. Cataclysmic wonders, shine on, shine on blunders. God is thundering through. Charmin, be gone. God is coming on through. .

[@detrameech1766]

He'll some one concert me from a bad dream when I was a Child YEAH RIGHT

[@suzannevanderbeck9667]

Momma never wanted to hurt her son, you can count on that. Unfortunately, what was done to daddy touched you, too. Forgive her. Enjoy your family. She won't leave you again. Momentary timeouts during times of overwhelm are not the same thing. When a mother comes back, there is a reason for it. Not so she can be slammed, but so all can forgive. God cannot forgive if you cannot forgive, Ask Rick. And if she comes with baggage, it is not for you to disdain, but to welcome with open arms brothers or sisters that will look up to you, the oldest, the one who may even be patriarch of the household. Give God thanks for what He is giving you...spiritual head of the household...which is a great responsibility. Yes, it is...a great responsibility. Bestow wisdom upon Billy now, Lord. Give him a heart that yearns for you and let that heart love, honor and respect ALL of his family from this day on.

@@Kulio_ib3wc we can start again...throw it all away (the past) and start again and...though I can't dandle my baby, I can still hold him in my arms. I just now found this. I am sorry for such a long delay, Billy. Mixed messages, learning to discern your voice/face. All those faces :) You needed them. It's OK. Can we set up an fb just for us? Is that what rangr6 is? 6 means sin, but God is a God of opposites...it may also mean love...and now there is a wedding that has blown me away. mmmmmmmmm. Little boys often want to marry their mommas. Schmecht gut. I want this. Snowballs and ice cream and little boys with feet that grow them into big men who trust in their toys (black truck). Afraid to meet with you, but it has to be done. Avoidance issues, not with you, with your daddy maybe. Afraid I will feel so guilty, I won't be able to look you in the eye. Just avoiding the initial meeting...but it won't be long. Don't leave the area, except for your tour...please? Dunkin Donuts? Think there is some drugging going on by Rite Aid down there around 4am. I like to be up early. Have to be at Midas in Morgantown tomorrow noon. Saw you at McDonald's recently. Will you be around tomorrow? Look for me. A false start. I will be around probably 11am. Watch for me. I do, since zBill V bludgeoned me with a door, forget appointments. Check me out at Mlidas, too. I love u, Billy.

And why would you do that to me? Michael was my son. Now I cry myself to sleep. Had I stayed, how would you have turned out? I am not perfect. A very tough time right now. Billy, the faces...I need to see you...

[@suzannevanderbeck9667]

Billy,pastors you might know need to rally their intercessory teams and come against the corona curse through Koontz. Mercy has been prayed for. I never loved anyone more than the three of you, plus the grands, great grands. Fiction, things spoken forth, can come true. Oh, Most Merciful God, have mercy and remember we are just blades of grass. We bind and rebuke the curse of the corona virus and liver conditions Billy might have. Heal our land, Lord. Billy, I must reach folk through you, Michael and possibly through Brandon Heath who wanted me to teach on his site. People are going out the door like DOAs. Holy One, misconceptions, ill perceptions, false resurrections,, false complexions...cause a descenscion, let us not mention things that are wicked , things that should not be said. These now are times of dread. Our hope is in You Lord of All things possible. Let us traverse down to where the constable eats from a plate, denies Watergate, but let's acquiesce. Lord Jesus, please bless us with hope and a future. Let all filthy lucre be done in this place. Son, now join the race. I was not writhing. There is no conniving. No diagnoses. A friend's claustrophobic. May God's Holy Train prevent Counterpane. Dreams of window panes...Au natural's not Rogaine. Changes must come. No job, no bum. 501c3 has the best from me. You spoke a virus forth. .i can still hold a torch for you, my son. They are telling me the virus is real . I want God to steal you away, giving you tongues. I speak to the slums. Rent control back in place. Let's give God holy race. I resent what all are doing to me and Michael. We do mot deserve the madness of the church. We call the whole church at large down until further notice. Pastors are to unite and work this through pastor to God, God to pastor.

[@suzannevanderbeck9667]

For nine years, I was s physically abused daily. 10 slaps to the head per sitting...every day. Bludgeonings and strangulations included until finally my knees were broken a few times and my thumbs were jammed into themselves. I may not be seeing you or things clearly. Crying. Try to have patience with me. In the meantime, I cannot leave this song, astounded by the clarity from which you speak in this song. Family. My heart's cry is we ALL become a family in some form or another.
