Make sure you note my above comment. It has been researched if you can find anything that counters my references I'd love to hear!

[@sandydunlap414]

This was my husband‘s favorite song. He would play it over and over and over. And I played it for him at his funeral. One of these days I will be able to listen to this song without crying…

[@epiphany519]

Know what you mean. When the love of my life passed the last thing we were able to share was a song by Faith Hill from the sound track of "Pearl Harbor" called "There You'll Be". She was a nurse who worked mostly with the elderly at a rehab hospital here. Neither of us are what you would call "young" but she still loved helping others. They called her their Angel and she was. She was also one of the most formidable yet loving people I have ever been privileged to know. Having a fundamental part of your life (in my case after 54 years) no longer there on a daily basis outside of your memories is hard. They say it gets better with time. Personally I think they're lying. I also know that she'd find a way to haunt my ass if I tried to just curl up and die. Life goes on. It may suck at times but you have to find joy in whatever you can. Hear a child laugh and remember a good time. See a leaf fall (it's fall here) and smile in memory of jumping into a pile (as older adults) and laughing about it (and praying you didn't leave a rake in the pile). Love doesn't have an expiry date. Take care all and thanks Sandy. I still can't get through "There You'll Be" without tears, maybe one day.

[@BourbonCountryReacts]

I get why he'd do that. It's an important message. And sorry for your loss.

[@cathybrown8334]

I have told my friends and family I want this played at a celebration not a funeral of my life. I am going to be cremated.

[@VangelVe]

Sorry Sandy, but I cry all the time and have no such attachment. But what gets to me is that I believe these guys are starting to 'get it' as they react to country songs in which the concept of 'belief' is the antidote to the hardship that life brings us. The song is about far more than the musical genre and arrangements. While they are essential, as Charlie Parker noted, Country music is about the stories and the words.

[@NFMom]

Sandy Dunlap, same here. it's been 5 years since my husband passed away, and I still cry like a baby when it comes on the radio.

[@austinhain5117]

I'm so glad you guys did "Believe" it's a great song and there's not a whole lot that Brooks and Dunn can do wrong really. And Ronnie Dunn could sing the phone book and it would go Gold. I think that's the first time you've not stopped a video. Loved your reaction. Ronnie Dunn was singing and Kix Brooks was playing guitar. Brooks and Dunn have been a major Country Duo since 1991 and just retired a few years ago. Their catalogue is stacked with #1's!!!!

Other way around guys. Ronnie Dunn sang the hell out of it. He also wrote it based on a man he knew as a kid. Kix Brooks was playing guitar and sometimes sings as well. I believe they are still the most awarded Country duo.

Y'all were tongue-tied and completely pulled in to the story. That's what happens when the song is awesome!

[@greeneyelove2003]

I am so glad you listened to this. I can't hear this song without crying. I am fairly new subscribe so I haven't seen all your videos yet, but I suggest Some People Change by Montgomery Gentry. This song here reminds me of a wonderful African-American woman I met (back when I was in high school) when a church group I was part of went to a local nursing home every Wednesday night to sing. Mrs. Pitts was her name. I would get her from her room, take her to the service and then see her back to her room. She was one of the most amazing women I have ever known. She use to say anytime life had you down, stop what you were doing and think of five things you are grateful for. That's advice I still hold to twenty years later. I will never forget the Wednesday night I went to get her and a nurse told me that she had passed away the Friday before, just two days after I last saw her. I was heartbroken but I know where she is. Same with my grandmother, years later, who passed in her sleep less than three weeks from what would have been her 94th birthday. I know I will see them again someday. Until then, they are and always will be in my heart.

[@BourbonCountryReacts]

You are witnessing truth from his childhood...lead singer Ronnie Dunns bluesy/gospel voice combined with the back ground singers and that organ plus the beautiful video brings the story to life. Yes Dunn sang in church and was going to be a pastor but the music was calling him. He rarely performs this song live which speaks to his deep connection with old man Wrigley, which shaped him as a person and a man...he saw no age or color barriers...Brooks and Dunn are gems of country and have 11 albums out...you should check out the tribute of this song by Jennifer Hudson...
