Darius Rucker - It Won't Be Like This For Long (Reaction feat Ali!)

[@CoastalNomad]

Great Reaction Video..... Darius Rucker Grew up in South Carolina.... and Went to College in South Carolina..... He was the Lead Singer for the group "Hootie and the Blowfish" with guys he went to college with....... He has commented that he wanted to sing Country Music......

[@SebsDuran]

Wait. Hootie and the Blowfish?!

[@stevenangle8407]

Yes, he's Hootie from Hootie and the Blowfish

[@seasonsofsearching]

@@SebsDuran YESSSSS - checkout Let her Cry - one of my favs - I must admit I love him singing country more though - Took me a while to get my head wrapped around it as well.

[@bella-xp7qd]

Mickey Guyton also

[@RitaBowen1]

You have to do Let Her Cry Hootie and the Blowfish then the next Darius Rucker should be Wagon Wheel!

[@chrissandridge7655]

"There goes my life" Kenny Chesney .... "You're gonna miss this" Trace Adkins ... I love these type songs also ... great reaction both of you

[@brianthomason5242]

Yes! There goes my life by Kenny Chesney

[@Melly01]

Did you know the daughter in the video for "There Goes My Life" is Amber Heard? That surprised me and I had to go back and watch the video again. Sure enough.

[@chrissandridge7655]

@@Melly01 I had no idea ... I will definitely check that out

Darius is a good ole Southerner from South Carolina, Charleston. He's only been in Country Music for the last 15 years or so but we love him. I loved him in Hootie and the Blowfish when I was younger, killer voice!

[@maryrichardson1318]

This song really touches your heart. Enjoy every minute with your girls. Just yesterday, I was bringing my first child home from the hospital, and then 4 years later, a set of twins. I blinked and now that first child will be 40 next month, and the twins are almost 36. The grandkids are 16, 15, 7 and 5. I am clinging to every minute I can with them. Honestly, in the grand scheme of things NOTHING else matters.

[@Duckie-ep4sx]

Bob Carlisle "Butterfly Kisses" Another great song.

[@kdmarks30]

Love these "in the feels" reactions! A couple great songs for Dads about daughters, Kenny Chesneys "There Goes my Life" and Brantley Gilberts "How to Talk to Girl"

[@huntersmith8062]

Brett young has one as well, talks about how he wants his daughter to grow up like her mom and Brantley’s man that hung the moon is top tier

[@damoriginal]

He proves he is multi talented. From Hootie & the Blowfish to a country star. Awesome.

[@Mimzy_Fairchild]

And it's crazy to think those little kids are 21 and 18 now. Such a timeless song. 💜

[@Melly01]

Darius Rucker's voice is like honey and I will listen to it in any song, any genre. "There Goes My Life" (featuring a teenage Amber Heard), "Wagon Wheel," or dive into his Hootie and the Blowfish days with, "Let Her Cry." So much to explore with Darius! I immediately smile and melt when I hear his voice start a song. ❤️

[@rosemariediamond5948]

The way you show your love for your wife and children touches my heart. You show what a real man is.

[@stuarthornsby7023]

Thank you for listening to this song. Knowing you have daughters, I thought this would be special to you two. This was actually the song my oldest daughter chose for our daddy/daughter dance at her wedding. I tried to talk to her throughout the song so I wouldn't get emotional. It didn't work so well but this is a moment I will never forget. Thanks again.

[@BlueDragon53]

Darius is a master vocalist. Man with a golden voice. Hootie and the Blowfish "Cracked rear view" album is a masterpiece, one of the best selling albums of all time. His solo stuff is amazing also.

[@dannypeck7605]

My favorite part was how proud your wife looked at you the song was going. She knows how lucky she is and I hope and pray that you do to my friend. Great reaction

[@awy1977]

That 2nd verse about dropping them at preschool gets me. I remember dropping my son off when he was only 3. He cried and cried but he soon loved going. Now he's a senior in high school and is going off to college in a few months. Time marches on.

[@Mattdirk59]

Darius was/is the lead singer for the great band Hootie and the Blowfish! Formed in the late 80s, was very popular, still performing. Another one you should check out!👌

[@jeraldkimball494]

You two warm my heart so much talking about your kids so lovingly. It makes this old man's heart swell. I miss those days when my daughter was small however she is still my little sweetpea. She is now 38 and still lives with us. She was born premature and only weighed 1 pound at birth. Was in the hospital for 6 months before we could bring her home. She was on oxygen until nearly 5 years old due to her lung still developing. She has ADHD and is handicapped. She is still daddy's little miracle though.

[@chrisyoung4654]

I’m at the moment in this song where mine is a teenager and is hating me. It was good for me to hear this and remember that is a phase as well and it won’t last for long! Great reaction as always!!

[@MarcusC68]

You two are so sweet. So happy I found your reactions.

[@PaintingandExercise]

I love, love Darius Rucker!

[@lynnmorgan6144]

Lot of great songs already listed about dads and daughters. Also check out Gary Allen's "Tough Little Boys." Great reaction, thank you!

[@motomike14]

Love this song. Gets me every time. Must see Butterfly Kisses & I Loved Her First.

[@joshuacasillas3935]

I loved at the beginning of the video how both of you were just soaking in the beautiful riffs and sound of Darius Rucker’s beautiful voice, and then at the same time, both of you realized what this song was actually about, and instantly at the same time both of your eyes just watered up with tears as you realized what he was really talking about. This is definitely his most beautiful songs, and this is one of your best reactions!

[@HBkaleecee]

Love your reactions! This song hits hard. I just celebrated 52 years with my hubby (met him when I was 14). We have 6 kids all grown, had 6 foster kids and cried when they left us and we're now helping my daughter with raising her kids like they're our own. Time goes so fast, so we hug and love those kids all the time. Bless you and yours! Thanks for sharing your heart when reacting to these videos!

[@kayhodge5951]

I’ve seen him live and he’s every bit as good as the studio. His music solo and with Hootie and the Blowfish really hits home a lot of times.

[@plutosgal9436]

Thank you so much for playing this one! It is my favorite song and brings my husband to tears every time!!!!

[@robindew9072]

I love this song so much. Having raised 3 daughters and watching them grow and leave the home neat. This song absolutely moves me. It's such a beautiful touching song. Darius did a beautiful job singing this song. It's amazing.

[@sandralybrand9425]

This is a beautiful song and the words are meaningful

[@victoriapowell6318]

I believe he is from around Charleston; note he was lead for Hootie and the Blowfish, which at the time I felt like they were a college town band coming up. Album was Cracked Rear View, maybe? Good stuff there, too. I am in Myrtle Beach so we heard a whole lot of Hootie and the Blowfish back in the day.

[@quintondees4501]

Nice one here, Darius Rucker, is awesome. He was the lead singer for Hootie and the blowfish before he went country

[@royperkins9176]

Howdy from Texas. Most people don’t know that somewhere near 40 percent of cowboys in the old west were black. People stereotype so quickly. Love Darius’ voice. Thanks for the reaction

[@tmtjr]

So touching. Great reaction. Blessings to you and your family.

[@michelleedler3414]

Wow! She writes amazing for four!

[@Therealroman777]

Great reaction video! Think this one’s my favorite so far. Your wife adds a great dynamic to the video. Made me think of my wife when she quickly reminded you about your second daughter… lol. I tend to focus on my oldest a lot too!

[@drewevans6908]

Before he went country as Darius, he rolled as Hootie (and the blowfish). Check out “Let Her Cry”.

[@joeewing9364]

Just found your channel, and there’s 1000 reaction channels. But I’m also a girl dad (3 and 6 y/o girls) and your channel hits home. Got my sub bro 👍🏻👍🏻

[@donnamoskowitz4978]

You will find as you discover more artist that Country music embraces everyone! I could relate so many stories of artists of all genres love and respect the country music community!!! Darius has a song "Alright" which is a happy and uplifting message of what is good in this world and we should be grateful for that!!! Love from Texas!!!

[@jrines82]

This one just got me...I'm actually watching this as I'm getting ready for a daddy/daughter dance tonight with my youngest daughter. She's 6

[@Brotha_Teresa]

Hootie!

[@rodneynoble452]

It seems like just yesterday, but I brought my daughter home from the hospital, and here it is 23 years later and I watched her get married last spring. I never thought walking her down the aisle would be as hard as it was. I will admit, I did give my now son-in-law, a very harsh glare and a warning that he should not attempt to hurt her in any way. He got the message

[@bittyboo52]

I am 67, and still have a drawer full of things my kids made...so precious....

[@gretacarrick5934]

[@nathanbuganza2479]

Hootie!!!

[@planojag595]

Darius grew up in South Carolina listening to all kinds of music. He formed a band in the 90s with college buddies which became hugely successful and after they broke up he decided he wanted to tap into his country roots but wasn't sure how the country music community would accept him and if those that knew him as Hootie would like his style of country music. Well, as a fellow Gen X'er who also grew up listening to all kinds of music and can readily alternate listening to rock, pop, country, classical, R&B, Latin, and oldies, I was excited to hear Darius sing country songs for the first time. I love how country music tells stories that are relatable to the common man and as I get older I find myself turning to country music more than the other genres that I still love. I was just hoping that he would be successful and that he'd release songs that would fit into the 90s style of country music and not the latest "Bro Country" fad which has little lasting value. Well, not only did he release great music but his songs are a perfect blend of who he is and what he wants to say. His voice lends itself well to the genre and he surrounds himself with great musicians. My favorite of his songs are It Won't Be Like This For Long, Come Back Song, and If I Told You.

[@natecloe8535]

Up until probably the last 8 years or so I never watched country music artists I only heard them on the radio or a playlist. It was literally 10 years after Darius rucker released his 1st country song before I found out that he was a black guy. I never would have guessed either. I do remember thinking that he sounded super familiar, And then I found out that he was also the singer in the rock band Hootie & The Blowfish, But again I had never seen that band I had only heard them. This dude is top notch by the way. Without question one of the best country artists of all time.
