Swindell Vision 2015 Episode 43 - Behind The Scenes: You Should Be Here

[@jamiehoekstra11677]

Dude this song kills me! It makes me remember those I have lost. But seeing you break down for real just tears me up man. I pray that God will comfort you and your family through this tremendous loss. Nothing can bring your dad back, we know that. But I hope this experience helps you through the pain. Thanks so much for putting your heart out there like this brother. God bless you and yours Cole! See you when you come to Knoxville next!!!

[@blakesmith7871]

Love this song. My wife passed away this year and this song soothes me cause I know she's here with me at every special moment. First time I heard this song was the day after she passed away

[@maryclark7058]

This song means a lot to my brother and sisters because we lost our dad last year on Dec. 17, 2015 and when he passed as my brother got off the plane and into the car your song came on. I already loved the song but this past June we were all together fulfilling our father's wish to bury his ashes in the water because he was a waterman. Everytime the song comes on it takes me back to the day on the boat sharing stories about dad with my mom, aunt and siblings and just us as adults and all the good times we had as a family and by ourselves. He was mine and my sisters step-dad but we never called him that we called him dad. So thank you for sharing your story about your dad and know that it affects my family in a good way and helps to cry when we need to. You are a phenominal artist keep making music it's healing.

Thank you Cole for this video. You have been very helpful to me with this video. I lost my Dad 01/01/14. And I believe that was the most tragic thing in my life, so I know EXACTLY what you felt during/after this video. Can't wait till 02/20/16 when you are here in Jackson, TN and if the Lord's willing, I get to hear this song in person. I am a 41 year old father of 4 beautiful kids, but this song brings out all the feelings I try to keep balled up inside me. God Bless You! And thanks again!

[@alannahrogers9113]

Cole my daddy was my best friend. He died accidentally on September 5, 2010. He loved his family. This song means so much to my family. His first grandson was born just five weeks before he died and now he has another grandson he should be here to see. Thank you for putting our feelings into words and song. God Bless You. Gena

[@bethwohlrabe177]

I was on my way to my grandma's house when I herd this song You Should Be Here. my grandfather died a month ago at that time. we are going to do a memorial service for him in June. it just hit home to me. A US Marine is home. I know he will be there in sprit. seeing all with beer in hand and a grin on his face. thanks for such a moving song.

[@QtrWarrior]

Cole..From one Ga boy to another... Thank you for this song.. I lost my dad 1/20/11 and have missed him everyday since...I feel your pain, just know your dad is in a better place..

[@deeerny1500]

Cole, I have heard alot of songs say the words that have been in my heart everyday for the past 6 1/2 yrs since my mother and my father-in-law both passed away, but this song says it all. There is never a day that goes by that I don't tell either of them that They should be here. Since they passed, I've graduated with Honors from 2 different colleges, my daughter graduated from High School and even got married. She even made her father and me Grandparents for the first time. And after 19 long yrs, I finally married my daughter's dad. I just can't tell you how much your song has touched my heart. Thank you. It's a beautiful tribute to your dad. I know he is in Heaven smiling down on you with such Pride. He will always be with you in your heart, in your soul, and in your music.

[@lauraglovack1543]

I cry every time...but it soothes my soul...bless you...sorry for your loss..lost my nephew..this song touches my soul..

[@melissaclark3580]

Cole, this song has helped me after 24 years after I lost my dad. I cry when I see you breaking down because it hits home.

[@dogzrmewith23]

This song and video is therapeutic & will help so many others realize that they are not alone in their grief. Thank you to Cole & all of his family for being so open with their lives. Do we ever come to terms with the loss of a loved one...especially when it was unexpected? I think not, but with time...lots of time...we learn how to cope with it. The memories & tangibles help to keep their spirit alive! And Cole's Dad painted a lovely guitar! #YOUSHOULDBEHERE

[@kellyrios4448]

We played this at my dads memorial also dads old number. Just lost him in September on the 20th of 2019. Thank you for helping my family through one of the hardest times in our lives.

[@christinaherron8997]

First off Cole I'm so sorry for your loss I can relate BC I lost my dad at 13 and my mother at 18 and I'm now 39 years old and it hurts just as bad today as it did then. t Thank you for making this BC it has really touched my heart and I'm sure it will many others as well. God bless you Cole sending love and hugs from Bristol Tennessee!

[@nancieleedavis-herreraprez862]

It's good to see a family who with the same strength of character had the ability to let you go into an industry that in some cases outcomes bury a career. In my experience walking away repeatedly proved the easier choice. Much respect for the honesty throughout lyrics and presentation. NLDHP

[@lauradiener6077]

Love cole and his music I lost my dad almost 20yrs ago in September

[@steveschenk320]

reading these comments and seeing how the words of your song touch the very soul of these people that have shared the feelings of loss, I lost my Dad in 2013, I spoke to him on the phone every day for over 20 years, and that first day that I couldn't make that call was so brutal. Thanks for sharing this song with the world

[@brianacussick9316]

You don't know how many tears I have cried listening to this song. Thank you so much. It's like you helped me with closure and I couldn't be more grateful

[@brettveto9418]

Thank you for this, I lost my grandfather 2 months ago, and its just doesn't seem right without him.

[@katochalover]

I love him and all his music but especially this song. Can't wait to see him for the 6th time in 4 days! Flying from Colorado to Tennessee for his show❤️

[@sheri7269]

Thanks for sharing Cole. Very touching.

[@meganwark3446]

Thank you for sharing your experience and helping others! This song is amazing and helps me express how i feel when words cant!

[@hannahwhiteford7972]

Thanks!! I lost my dad in 2-12-07 i was 6 and i know its tragic i think about him everyday

[@crystalballard5083]

this video will help others it helped me my cousin Mindy passed at age 18 and she has missed all three of my kids being born she's missed her own kids growing up and as much as life moves forward and with time I haven't had much time to really think about what she's missed she developed ards and passed at such a young age thank u for making a song like this

[@AlwaysATeacher]

Thank you man. You have no idea how much. God Bless and thank you for doing what you do.

[@briannewton6719]

Cole, thanks for sharing this song with us! I lost my dad 12/29/2014 and every time I hear this song I ball like you, the hurt never ever goes away, but this helps!

[@nicachumaechase2525]

you helped us so much.....you don't even know, maybe you do....LOVE this song sooo much

[@lauraholloway5294]

love this song and video love all your music and videos sorry about your loss of your father and I lost my daddy 9 years ago and the day I heard this song and video brings years to my eyes each and every time I listen to it and tribute it to my daddy I was a daddy's little girl

[@amberkeith921]

Oh my goodness..I'm a blabberin' fool about now, tears streaming down my face. Thanks for sharing your story. Truly genuine an impactful! I'm so sorry for the loss of your father. May he be watching you throughout your journey in life.

[@pepsiman7017]

I lost my dad 21 years ago. And to this day it still seems like it just happened. I can relate to this video and song in so many ways. Thank you Cole for sharing this with all of us. And for being real. It means alot and it does help!

[@aawise8504]

Every time I hear this song and see you preform it my heart breaks for you. I couldn't imagine what you went through and how much you miss your father. You seem like such a genuine person and country music is 1000x's better with your raw emotions and feelings. God Bless you and your family for helping others through heartache! This song always makes me think of my grandparents that I lost when I was 14 in a car accident Dec 20, 1999. I forever thought I would have been a better person if they would have been around longer.

[@brucevanepps5939]

WOW! Powerful Video! The first time I heard it I thought you were talking about a girlfriend but when I watched the video, I immediately started weeping. I lost my dad unexpectedly on 1-1-15. He was my best friend. I became so close to him the past 4 years after my brother passed on 1-12-11. I miss them both sooooo much. This song puts into words and music the pain I feel thinking about how they "Should be here" Thank You for the song.

[@tracyeaton4183]

Cole to hear you actually talk about the song like that, it breaks my heart but helps me to. I know I have already said this before but I lost my momma suddenly, I went into her home and found her past away, it was in 2015. I never got to say goodbye, I love you or anything. My heart breaks all the time, She was my momma, my best friend and I lost my dad at the age of 3 and so she was my dad to. My life has not been the same, my heart has not yet been healed fro her loss. Once again I can’t say enough about Cole Swindell’s music.

[@shannonkinley2613]

God Bless you and your family , thank you for sharing!

[@pvick1174]

thank you for this song and video. I lost my Dad in 2012. My brother passed away suddenly Aug 2015. And this song really has helped with my grief and depression. It touched on so many of the feelings I have had to deal with. It has really helped me.

[@jnlmhny]

Thank you for sharing your story. So sad and I'm glad it has helped you. Nothing can truly help but this song and your story is very inspiring. Thank you so much. You're amazing.

[@charzardking0199]

While I have never had to go through a tragedy like this yet the music video still moves me non the less. I think this is going to be the song that everyone remembers Cole Swindell for. For Luke Bryan it might be "Country Girl", "Play it again", or "That's my Kind of Night". For Eric Church it's probably "Springsteen". It used to be "Chillin' It" in my eyes for Swindell but this song puts that one to shame. It's deep, meaningful, relatable for a lot of people... This song deserves to be "Song of the Year" whenever the next country award show rolls around.

[@gjameslaliberte7738]

thank you for this, it is very therapeutic ~ just lost my mother in May (05-16-16)

[@joekennedy8772]

Every time i hear this somg, it makes me think of my papa, and all the times we would cruise down main street in glennville in an old dodge. Or go fishing in the altamaha. My grandaddy knew your father, and although my papa died back in 2012, i was sure sad to hear about your dad's passing. I just want you to know that all of glennville is behind ya, buddy. your making history. Thanks for making the world a little bit of a better place.

[@hellfrozeover80]

Great job by the producers with this video and Cole man I gotta tell you that this song hits me hard... I have lost a lot of family over the years and there's plenty that I wish that were here.... and the thing is that you put something out that captures my heart and the way I feel about my feeling and that you and your family did for the video... you didn't have to show the emotion and your family story.. it could have just been a song but the fact that its true and your actions are real just really makes it hit harder!

[@karpetech]

Brother i love this song. And I am so greatful you made it. Every time I hear it breaks my heart for you. Thank you

[@LoveAuntAshley]

Music heals. That's all there is to it. So great that Cole got to do this video and his family got to be with him. And no doubt it is helping so many of his fans (including me).

[@rachelgraham7544]

Thank you cole for a powerful song and this song makes me miss my great grandma who just past away 2 months ago

[@nameinuse22]

okay seriously, how can anyone not love this guy!?!? This was amazing!!! Besides being a great tribute to his dad, this song is really, really good and to think silly me thought I didn’t like country.

[@lukerogers6634]

thank you for this song brother it's really helping me cope with watching granddaddy slowly waste away and miss out on things that I know if he was in good health he'd never miss

[@fraukecheyne9918]

I lost my dad 9.07.2016 your video you have be very helpful thank you so much

[@jaredlolley4275]

Thank u soo much Cole for making this video. I’ve lost a lot of people throughout my life. First I lost my grandma, then I’ve lost 5 of my friends to suicide, and now I’m losing my dad to cancer, also being a former firefighter I’ve seen a lot of horrible things throughout my life.

[@JinxDClown]

My dad passed suddenly from a heart attack when i was 20. It happened on a day we were both working on my 68 camaro together and I wanted to leave to go see my girlfriend (now wife). A few hours later we got a call from the shop owner that my dad was on the floor of the shop not breathing. He was my best friend. I'll always regret leaving him that day. But I can tell you Mr Swindell, things get easier in time. You'll think of him every day. Those thoughts turn from sadness to happiness over time. My dad passed on Jan 19th 1993, and I still think about him every day. Great video bud. I know it's been a few years, but I'm sorry for your loss.

[@littletube5000]

You could see Cole trying to hold back tears in the interview... it's sad

[@amandamcclendon9547]

This song is amazing and makes me miss my dad because I do wish I could see him one more time

[@jessicalynch6939]

this is a very beautiful song my dad passed away 3-11-11 and it's still hard the first time I heard this song I was on the way to my mom's house and I for some reason something turned my car around and took me right to my dad's grave. and I just broke down and cried. I have moments where he should be here and he's not. I wish I could see his face one more time or even just here his voice.

[@jeffnull129]

my little brother died at 19. His daughter was 3 months old at the time. through no fault of mine or her mothers I lost contact with her. We recently found each other she's 15 now. All the way to her house I listened to this song because my brother should be here. Thank you for a powerful song and know it has helped another person through a hard time

[@nancieleedavis-herreraprez862]

Thank you.

[@SteveStrittmatter]

[@supernaturalfan5]

This song has help me to!! I lost my father when I was 20 years old and my father and I were best friends, we always told each other everything, he was my hero but also we was a war hero,he was an U.S Army SGT for 25 years and he was 51 years old when he passed away. What this song tells me is I wish he was here to see me whenever I get married, or walk me down the aisle,or have grand kids he can see or hug or spoil. But I know my Daddy,Grandma's, Great Uncle,and a Horse i had named Sky

[@idacapalbo3742]
