Original Video: • Brad Paisley - Whiskey...
----------------------------------------
"Whiskey Lullaby" is a poignant country ballad released on March 29, 2004, as a duet by American country music artist Brad Paisley and bluegrass artist Alison Krauss. Written by Bill Anderson and Jon Randall, the song is featured on Paisley's album "Mud on the Tires." The song delves into the emotional depths of a couple's painful separation, leading them both to drink themselves to death. The narrative is so compelling that it won the 2005 Country Music Association Song of the Year Award and was certified 2× Platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America.
The song's narrative is divided between the two singers, with Paisley focusing on the male character and Krauss on the female. The acoustic ballad is set in the key of B minor and is accompanied by acoustic guitar and Dobro. The song's co-writer, Jon Randall, was going through a difficult period in his life, including a divorce and loss of a record deal, which inspired the song's melancholic tone. The line, "Hey man, every now and then you've got to put a bottle to your head and pull the trigger," served as a catalyst for the song's creation.
The music video, directed by Rick Schroder, adds another layer to the song's narrative. Set in the years just after World War II, it follows a war veteran who returns home to find his wife in bed with another man, leading both to their tragic ends. The video was filmed on June 6 and 7, 2004, in Nashville and premiered on June 30, 2004, on CMT. The video further amplifies the song's emotional impact, making "Whiskey Lullaby" a memorable piece in the country music genre.

This song, "Alyssa Lies," and "Concrete Angel" are the 3 country songs that always break me.

It made many of us tear up. Some trivia about this. The soldier is a grown up child actor, Ricky Schroder, star of The Champ and eventually Silver Spoons on TV. H won a Golden Globe for his performance, becoming at age nine the youngest Golden Globe winner in history. His roles as Danny Sorenson on three seasons of NYPD Blue, nurse Paul Flowers in Scrubs, Dr. Dylan West on Strong Medicine, and Mike Doyle on the 2007 season of 24 showed his talent as an adult. The little girl at the end who sees the ghosts is his real life daughter Cambrie Schroder.

Allison krause has the voice of an angel....

[@lostsoulnv]

Only real men cry to this cause we've experienced it first hand. Respect to my brothers who have been through this

[@roywall8169]

She put him out, like the burning end of midnight cigarette……most powerful opening lyric I have ever heard.

[@teresaschultzauthor8197]

Fun trivia (if you didn’t already know), there are two Alison Krauss songs in Buffy. “It Doesn’t Matter” plays when Joyce is driving Buffy to school in 2-1, When She Was Bad. The second one is “That Kind of Love” at the end of 6-18, Entropy. (Now you’re gonna have to go back and watch those scenes)!

I remember the first time watching this I had tears streaming down my cheeks from almost minute one. So many our military families are broken on both sides of the story. My nephew served in Desert Storm and his wife left him before he returned. We all kept that from him - including the now ex-wife - for fear that he would not handle the news well on the other side of the world. Thankfully she did not make this decision until shortly before he came home and had already moved out, so he didn’t have that to deal with as well. It was heartbreaking, but thankfully he was able to move on and married again with 3 beautiful grown kids. So many are not that fortunate and we need to keep them all in our thoughts and prayers! ❤🙏🏻

I've heard this song dozens of times, if not more. I still bawl each single time...

[@MaryMaxwell-c5i]

Play Hardee's Wait in the truck please play that

[@claraginevra6527]

This song and video were totally uncalled for! Powerful though and great reaction as always!

[@lboyer001]

The combination of the lyrics, music and the video is a neatly packaged emotional bomb. Any one is excellent by itself, but the combination is totally amazing.

[@jerrywalters8885]

Love Conway Twitty. 2 of his best are DON'T CRY JONI with his daughter and O LY THE SHADOWS KNOW two sides of great love songs

[@windwarattack2300]

You crushed me in the best way with this Reaction brother

[@jerrywalters8885]

Also the bus driver wad also in Brooks and Dunn BELIEVE. The little girl is the daughter of Ricky Schroeder who played the soldier and also directed the video

[@donaldborckardt8147]

They actually did work it out by the end of the video.

[@wllie_archangel]

If that doesn’t rip your heart out you don’t have one

[@Eggheadgolf]

Do the video "Believe" by Brooks and Dunn

[@loriepecinasadler1413]

👍💕

[@JasonD7726]

You would be really surprised how many KZbin reactors play the whole video without pausing and not get a copyright report. Aside from that I think that writers never thought about how when the guy gets home off the bus which is noisy and coming down the road which is right near the house and when he opens the door the woman in the bathroom should hear it and plus the bedroom window faces the road how can I not hear that stuff plus his boots hitting the wood floor in a hollow house. It's the most dumbest thing ever when I first saw this video when it first came up and I still laugh and get bothered by it from time to time and what's funny nobody notices it oneus reaction videos

[@stormqueen29]

Poor Brandon!! I knew this was going to destroy you. This song fueled my self termination spiral when my ex husband of 25 years left me. I haven't listened to it in 7 years. But I just had to watch this reaction. No matter how painful, because I care so much about you. I'm still here, and yes it still hurts but it's bearable.
