"As the tears fall on my guitar, I look up at the stars; you are finally home." He put his heart into that song. Truly inspiring and amazing!

My eldest son texted me today and said I love you mom. I asked him what he did or what he needed from me...he laughed and said I just want you to know I love you. Later in the evening he came by and told me he watched a video of this guy who wrote a song for his mom on AI and he cried. He felt he had to tell me how he felt so he texted me. I found the video tonight and I could only wish I could call my mom and tell her how much I still love her. What a beautiful tribute he gave his mom.

Reagan Alanna I would hope Luke Bryan would work with him, If he wins or not. As someone else said up in the top comments, Brandon and Luke should duet this together as it hits home for Luke. I believe Luke is raising his sisters child, as she passed away out of nowhere. His brother also died, from a car crash. His sisters widower died as well. Totally tragic...

There is nothing wrong with his voice. It is deep and rich and full of pain. If we picked our stars on the fact that they can do all the runs and have perfect falsetto then we wouldn’t have the legends like Bob Dylan, Tom Petty, Neil Young, Bruce Springsteen, the list goes on. You can be a technically good singer...but an artist, that does not make 👌🏼

I'm adopted too and my mom passed away from pancreatic cancer just over a year ago. I showed her your song last January after we got her Stage IV diagnosis and she said "This is a beautiful song, but I'm not gone yet!" then gave me a hug. I'll always remember that. I wish I could've been by her side the entire time when she needed me the most because she passed away only 8 months after she was diagnosed. Listen man... I've always had a way with words, but you expressed every feeling from the heart in a way that I, nor anyone else could/has. I keep your song at the top of the playlist I dedicated to my Mom because it expresses the love and gratitude we have for our Moms. Especially as adopted sons. The qualities our mothers instilled in us will be with us for life. To this we say "Thank you for giving us the opportunity to be able to call you our Moms". And to that they would reply "Thank you for making me a Mom". Thank you Brandon. Much Love. -J. Cucco

We had to watch the strongest women we knew slowly fade away in pain. Don't take your mother for granted because one day you'll wake up and she won't be there to talk, to hug, or give a kiss, and trust me you'll miss it and regret everything you didnt say or do.

I had the honor of meeting him just by chance, one night in MS. I had no idea that he had been on AI until he started to sing along to Blake Shelton song as I was pulling into a parking garage at a casino. My jaw about hit the staring wheel. I was blown away. I Saud, why aren't you singing professionally? He casually said that he had done the bar/club tour and that he had been on AI. I asked, "really? How was that?" he smiled and said "it was good. It was interesting." For the next two hours we sang karaoke in my car in the parking garage. Had a blast!
