Craig Morgan - Almost Home REACTION!

[@dawnasuttton]

ONE OF THE BEST SONGS EVER. IT HAS ALWAYS BEEN A FAVORITE OF MINE SINCE I FIRST HEARD YEARS AGO. I WAS NEVER HOMELSS BUT I KNOW WHAT IT FEELS LIKE TO JUST WANT TO GO HOME.

[@carmenmcknight1012]

That one always gets me. What I wouldn't give to smell my Grandma cooking supper on her stove again.

[@bleh2959]

Many people interpret this song as the old man just sleeping and having a dream but I see it as him most likely having a near death experience and all his memories playing out in front of him before he passes

[@alexakingsbury8035]

That's how I had always perceived it too. Makes me cry everytime 😭

[@stevenstrickland8334]

Craig has a way of painting a picture. So many of our Veterans are in this situation, God bless them all and love and hope for all of them!!!

[@laurie-lionessnotaewe5902]

😭😭😭 I cried today, just like I did when I heard this on the radio the first time. Country music always get me! It’s the BEST and most genuine music, for me at least. I love Craig Morgan, period.

[@dannythemysterious8221]

Yes I agree. Country music is the most genuine and heartfelt music out there

[@kalanhitchens8782]

Saw this guy in Arkansas at river fest.. only went to his show to try to pull this female.. was blown away by this song.. also was blown after it.

[@jackie_jrml]

Wow. Wow. Wow. Right?! Dude all the feels right here. This song ALWAYS makes me tear up!!! 😭😭

[@westernwagal9493]

My Uncle just died. He was part of the homeless community and we tried helping for years but all he knew was the streets. He died of hypothermia last week at the age of 59. Hes home now.

[@warnertom3393]

I feel like you can look at this 2 ways. This is a man's yearning to remember his childhood and family through his dreams in an especially hard situation. It also can be looked at as maybe he was dying, and his dreams were leading him to be almost home ,i.e. heaven. Sad and beautiful either way you look at it.

[@velvanae]

I like to think it was more of the first one. Warm loving memories in a world of cold harshness. People that protected and loved him a place and time where the worst thing he had to deal with is a swarm of honeybees vs people that ignored him or looked down on him. Warm weather vs cold winters with no shelter and death a reality. Craig Morgan did leave it open-ended like that on purpose though so listeners could form their own thoughts on what it means.

[@4jgarner]

I think it's meant to be looked at both ways. That's the lyrical and narrative genius of this song.

[@addisonw7611]

It’s about a homeless man.

[@michaelolmos4723]

That's the exact way i see it too. I'm leaning towards the second one.

[@QueenOfTheSea101]

at always hits me in the feels either way.

[@theccpisaparasite8813]

Wow! It hit me the same way. The best of country music does this ... universal

[@tracyadkins3077]

He was old, homeless, broken and hopeless.... he was this >< close to being beyond the misery of this world - gone in the sweetest of dreams.... "Man I wish you'd just left me alone" Been there. Know how that feels. Was no favor to wake him up at that point. This sing kills me every time.

[@greenharvestproductions6743]

[@crystalsmith4919]

This song makes me cry. We all take for granted the little things and forget that some people only have memories of those little comforts. Nobody should have to dream about "home", we all deserve that comfort!

[@rebeccagoodin6931]

isn't it amazing the ideals of heaven amongst us.....that is why it's an awesome song

[@carson6882]

Moments is a great song that helps put a lot in perspective

[@steveg5933]

I hear this song, close my eyes and hear and smell everything he describes in this song. Just love this song. Takes me back

[@mallorygueho1824]

This song makes me cry every single time I hear it. Just tears for days. Craig Morgan has such a special gift.

[@wristdisabledwriter2893]

This song makes me cry

[@Beautyjoy98]

This song is my soul.

[@donnasue2513]

As I get older, I find myself yearning for days gone by more and more. There are so many family members I miss. I wish I could have a piece of my grandmother’s apple pie. Playing hide and go seek with my cousins. Hug my daddy a little tighter. I love Craig Morgan’s Almost Home. It makes me homesick for childhood.

[@lindseylou95]

Please, react to "Holes in the floor of Heaven" by Steve Wariner!!

[@courtenayoeltjen]

And "I'm Already Taken" by Steve Wariner!!!

[@benb4343]

Good choice

[@cassandrahepp6445]

Yes! Please! Beautiful song.

[@eleahanz1334]

Gonna have us all crying!

[@lindseylou95]

It's a very special song to me. Every time it rains, especially special occasions, it's a beautiful reminder my loved ones are looking done and hopefully are proud.

[@davidsutton6218]

Thank you Billy

[@aimeewalls8208]

I habe a 17 y/o special needs son, he was shaken by his biological father at 19 weeks old, and thrown against a wall. I very nearly lost him then, but by the grace of God he is still here... He LOVES music, always has. This song is one I have been singing to him since he was born. Thank you for this, Billy... It's been a minute since I sang it to him, because of you we revived it today! ❤ Another great one by Craig is "That's What I Like About Sundays!"

[@CassieKnuckles563]

This song reminds me of my childhood. When you grow up in the country this is all there is. This was my days and nights. This is what I breathe. It reminds me of my grand parents and the rest of my family that I have lost since then.

[@bronsonsydow142]

John Deere Green by Joe Diffie would be a good one to react to. R.I.P Joe!

[@alisonbruce2486]

Yes this song came out right when my dad passed away and he was married to my step mom Charlene so it reminds me of them

[@brookebaker6265]

This reaction is up.

[@stephanievangossen7229]

My favorite Craig Morgan song. His writing is just fantastic. You can just feel every word. Growing up in the country, i can relate to every line. Love this song.

[@bjwoolbright7708]

Didn't know if u were aware or not. But Craig Morgan Is a veteran too. He was a forward observer in the Army. Thank you to our veterans.

[@sitswithchickenscandace2508]

I love BYSE!!! I find you’re emotions so genuine ... you’re refreshing!! An awesome song! God bless you

[@markclark6702]

Love this song

[@lacyinmon1004]

I'm literally crying right now. I heard this song on the radio while on the way to my father's wake. I still find it hard to listen to

[@elijahmoore3615]

Joe diffe John Deere green is a song you’d love

[@alisonbruce2486]

Yes

[@benb4343]

RIP😔

[@jacerea8683]

RIP JD

[@Sharonlee334]

Such a beautiful song! ❤

[@demonchild327]

“What A Beautiful Day” by Chris Cagle please.

[@texasbunny3844]

I love you Craig Morgan and everything you sing ❤️❤️❤️

[@Chrisfragger1]

I was hoping you would get to this song... I hope that you don't disappoint me on understanding just how SAD this song is. Spoiler Warning... It's not just a dream, the man was freezing to death in his sleep.

[@TexasMagnolia]

Never go wrong with Craig! Big Ol’ Heart, always making us 🤔 Thank you for your service Mr. Morgan!

[@michaeldubya]

If you grew up in rural America and a boomer or older these words ring home. And, yep it brings tears, every time I hear this song.

[@SickGirlRocks]

It’s because most of us understand the yearning for going home

[@ramondwilliam1307]

What a powerful moving song. It hits the heart man.

[@rhpollock71]

With the loss of Joe Diffie to complications from Coronavirus, I am begging you to react to "Ships That Don't Come In" by Joe Diffie. *WARNING* BYSE will make an appearance but it is a song that you want regret reacting to. PLEASE!!!

[@heatherlowe7330]

Heard that one for the first time in a reaction video and that hit me right in the heart! Such a beautiful song!

[@davidkauffman8798]

Jon Barker's "Thank You for Being My Dad" Matt Stillwell's "Hey Dad" Tyler Wood's "Dad" I have a soft spot for songs praising dads

[@chriswaltman5313]

This was his first hit. I remember the first time I heard it. I was mesmerized, thankfully it was his first of many great songs. Please react to Every Friday Afternoon by him.

[@evelyngriffin4880]

Saw him live in a bar in Lexington, Ky. When he started to sing this song the crowd went wild! He was so overtaken with our reaction to his music he actually just walked off stage and had to take a minute to compose himself. He came back and rocked the house. Still through the song he couldn’t believe how much the crowd loved this song. Greatest feedback from an artist I have ever seen.

[@mrmoore1817]

Ever since I lisined to his recent hit my father son and holy spirt I love his music and meaning to it

[@baileeroberts8583]

I love this song. There is so much meaning in the song

[@laureltaylor4535]

I love his voice..hes so good He has great songs.

[@SilverbladeDagger]

Gotta get back to the one Gary Allan video a day, man. My list in your DMs should be enough for now, and most are requested by others. :D We all have memories that are bittersweet that we wish we could go back to, and I guess to some they would think of those as heaven. Imagine nearly freezing to death, or falling asleep and letting hypothermia take over and that is your near-death experience kicking in. It's sad, yet it it is also kinda freeing and pleasant as well. I tell ya, if I had a flux capacitor and a DeLorean I know of several points in time I'd like to revisit and live over and over and over again.

[@williamrich6336]

Love and theft...whiskey on my breath..... Is amazing

[@mpec9405]

First time i am hearing this one too. Loved it!

[@michellewest4796]

I love how he makes each chorus more plaintive, like he is trying so hard to hold onto his dream.

[@naturalhealthandbeautybynu7723]

Thank you one of my favorites

[@debbietripp9702]

Johnny Paycheck---Old Violin is a really good one with a really deep meaning.

[@melanieleblanc4562]

This song always makes me cry

[@kevinwolf1692]

Great song thanks for viewing it

[@TexasMagnolia]

Reminder, Craig has the song “The Father, My Son and the Holy Ghost”

[@amandapatch7496]

Craig Morgan's songs never fail to bring out BYSE. Love it.

[@sclerodermasmarter2742]

I love this song.

[@bobbywetzel5349]

Please react to Chris Young (The Dashboard) . It's about 2 brothers. 1 is a marine and he gives his brother his pickup to have if he doesn't make it back home

[@nonnyd1573]

One of my favorites

[@tysonperkins7173]

He was dreaming about when he was a kid. And what he remembers about his childhood. He was almost home where he had not been sense 55.

[@May-qb3vx]

My favorite of his still has to be That's What I Love About Sunday

[@MelanieCravens]

This song always hits me the same way it hit you.

[@stevefreeland9876]

It really adds meaning when you remember that Vietnam started in 55

[@spatic351]

Man that hung the moon-Brantley Gilbert. Being that you’re a father BYSE will definitely be making an appearance.

[@JessBecause77]

For me I feel like this song is an example of how everyone's heaven is gonna be different.

[@ash2xx1]

I’m so glad to see you reacted to Moments a while back because it’s kind of similar to the theme of this song

[@belladonna2215]

This whole album is great and has several songs that will make you emotional. One of my favorites is cowboy and clown.

[@jasonnunez6411]

My grandmother had dementia but the last couple weeks of her life she said that she was going home with a smile. Sure enough she went home.

[@russellsmith142]

Sunday in the South by Shenandoah is the best song ever

[@carriecook2871]

Awesome song

[@trickeytrickyvideos]

Sherie Austin, "Streets of Heaven," very similar to some of Craig's soulful sing-song story telling.

[@hamrad645]

This song was playing on country radio when teh space shuttle exploded over Texas -- it seemed appropriate, because our astronauts were "Almost Home"! Craig Morgan has a lot of really good music. Craig Morgan's 17 year old son died from drowning as a result of a tubing accident in 2017. He and his family had a really tough time, but this song was written and recorded way before his son died.

[@hamrad645]

P.S. I guess the loss of our space shuttle crew hit me so hard because I worked in the Technical Library at Kennedy Space Center in Florida. I stood on the steps of the Space Center Headquarters building when the first unmanned launch of the Saturn V Rocket, carrying an Apollo Space Ship, after the launch pad accident where three astronauts lost their lives due to a launch pad fire.

[@candicedonaldson4259]

Beautiful song!....We lost Joe Diffie to the virus this week ..he had a song a lot of people dont know but the meaning in it is so important in it...its called " Ships that don't come in" ...I think you would really like it

[@charlieh3998]

Tremendous song

[@MikeE-hb8zb]

New sub here..First I wanna THANK YOU for you service to this great country!!! Also, I wanna thank you for the great content. Your tribute to a friend of mine brought me to your channel, I`m sure he would have thought the world of you.. Can you please do Holes in the floor of Heaven.. Steve Wariner is the artist name!! I think you will like the song!!

[@cassandrahepp6445]

When I was younger I always thought it was a dream but as an adult I realize it wasn't a dream. It was his version of heaven and he was almost there.

[@monicat4]

This song always gives me all the feels. ♥️ Please react to Chris Young's "Drowning" if you don't mind letting BYSE make another appearance. We all love BYSE because the reactions are so genuine.

[@rodconner9079]

Not just Craig Morgan (he sure can tell a story, huh?)... But country music -- paints a picture that you can relate to and feel. With this example... The "Old Man" was tired and ready to go... painting a picture of where his mind was ... freezing to death, set to go --- not feeling pain from the cold --- comfy. Somewhat sadly -- he's brought back to reality; the "old man" a bit disappointed. The picture is so vivid -- most everyone can see it and understands where the "old man" was... and where he was goin'. Country music is amazing --- most don't like because it make them feel, sadly -- they want to stay numb and stay away (from country music); many don't like to face reality!!! Just my take on it --- Be Safe Billy

[@swgelet]

Thank you for doing these reaction. I enjoy watching your reaction and weather it’s just 10 minutes it’s 10 minutes that I can escape from what happening around us😢. I visit your page everyday to see what your reacting to. I watched your reaction to a Matthew West song his song Forgiveness is a great one with a great back story. React to the song first then the back story. Very powerful

[@tracyknight5130]

Prop me up by the jukebox by Joe Diffie. RIP Joe!

[@EUGENESTREETJR]

Would love you to do a couple joe Diffie songs since he passed away recently. Ships that dont come in and the is prop me up besides the juke box

[@JasonHalversonjaydog]

you should check out George Jones' Wild Irish Rose, it'll bring BYSE out for sure! it's about a war veteran and what happens to him after he returns

[@BrandiSC1]

Love your reactions! Since he just passed away, maybe Joe Diffies 'So Help Me Girl' and 'Ships that don't come in'.

[@jaysims528]

I'm a 48 year-old man, I can't listen to the song without balling.
